About This Book

A practical manual combining technical instruction on jacquard and harness weaving with guidance in pattern design for figured textiles. It traces the development of draw and jacquard-type looms, explains machine components and their operation, and covers pattern-drafting methods, warp-and-weft relationships, colour effects, and material choices. Chapters offer concise, applied explanations aimed at designers, manufacturers, and students, illustrating the translation of artistic motifs into loom instructions and the practical considerations of production. Emphasis is placed on clear technique, efficient machine use, and harmonizing artistic composition with mechanical and material constraints.
