Multiple Tabby Weaves

Based on the Dr. William G. Bateman manuscript

Edited by Virginia I. Harvey

Retirement provided Dr. Bateman with the opportunity to devote his time to studying and experimenting with weaving structures on his 8-harness table loom. Luckily for us he documented his explorations in a manuscript, which was published by the Shuttle Craft Guild in a series of monographs in the 1980s.

This first monograph is devoted to exploring tabby block weaves where each block will have a different tabby. Drafts containing two, three or four blocks are explored and combined to achieve interesting designs and textural effects.

The monograph includes 18 drafts and black and white photos of woven samples.

All drafts are for 8 or less harnesses.
