About This Book

A technical manual on shaft weaving for silks and ribbons that explains methods for drawing warp threads (straight, skip, point, section), the construction and application of plain, novelty and jacquard weave structures, and procedures for decomposing and calculating fabric drafts. It presents harness and threading arrangements, reed and warp calculations, examples of box-loom and crepe effects, and methods for estimating costs, using diagrams and practical drafting guidance to connect theoretical principles with reproducible woven outcomes.
