Drawloom Mechanics 101: Damask
Curious about how a double-harness loom works to create complex woven patterns? This video considers the mechanics of damask-weaving on a pattern-shaft drawloom, using 4-shaft broken twill to illustrate the process. Warp-effect and weft-effect faces of the cloth are discussed, together with tie-ups; a detailed examination of the loom's damask shed; and a short weaving demo.

Thank you so much for this video. I just read Blackberry and Wild Rose by Sonia Velton which features people designing and working designs in silk on a drawloom. I have two jack looms and understand a fair bit of weaving terminology, but I was so lost during the book on how the drawlooms worked and why it required two people.
I was having a problem with my shed and watching this short video helped tremendously!
Amazing content! I heard about draw looms before, but never saw one in action.
Fantastic video and explanation, thank you so much!!
Very informative video! Nicely explained. Thank you.
thank you for such a clear and straightforward video!
Your videos are very well done. Clear and precise. I now have a general understanding of damask. You must be a teacher.
Excellent video! You are a great teacher as well as weaver. Thank you!
This is good information. Thankyou!
Thank you SO MUCH for making these videos. They're clear and easy to follow and I'm feeling a lot less overwhelmed and intimidated by my new drawloom. I'm looking forward to more.
wow! your video was so informative and so well done! i loved everything about it. the pacing, the script, the filming, the diagrams, bits of humour, and of course the kitty content! thank you so much!!! :)
Excellent explanation of what appears to be a very complicated system! Thank you so much! Now I want a drawloom 😁
Your videos are fantastic and your teaching style is so beneficial. Thank you!

No idea how I ended up here but this was so cool!!!
I absolutely love your videos. Thank you for taking so much time and care to show how the drawloom works! Can I ask how the selvedges work? Is it not like a twill where you need to account for skips at the edges?
Great video! I’m looking forward to your video on multiple structures on same cloth. Have you done any projects with supplementary weft/brocading? Drawloom seems perfect for it
just wow...
This may be a stupid question but I'm known for odd questions, is the large distance between the two sets of shafts needed? In other words could it possibly be done on a, say, 12 shaft loom using shafts 1-4 as the ground shafts and the rear most as pattern shafts? My reasoning is to know if it would even be worth trying. I've noticed on most drawlooms that there's a noticeable gap between the ground shafts and pattern shafts.
你这个织机的装造其实不用这么麻烦,这个正反两色缎的装造其实就只涉及到一种组织,只是组织起始顺序不一样,所以使用起综织地,伏综压花部间丝,然后分出几个综框用来提织花纹就可以实现了,可以大大节省综框
