Welcome to our last project of Season 5. I started with a warp for 8 mats and then got so carried away I had to make another warp and ended up with 16! As I worked on them I thought about all the things we have learned in our first 5 years together and wanted to pull it all together in one project.
With the exception of our Turned Twill, we have spent all this time working on just 4 shafts. We've taken an in-depth look at Plain Weave, Twill and Laces and this set of placemats really highlight the inter-connectivity of all structures on 4 shafts. Just 4 places to put warp threads and all the things that can be woven from one threading and using some of the tie-ups we have studied!
Things we will learn in this episode:
• How we can weave Plain Weave, Twill, Huck, Waffle Weave and Monk’s Belt on a Point Twill threading
• How to weave wider hems for placemat
• Different ways to deal with the turn on the hem
• How to control the draw-in for hems
• Considering different wefts for hems

Introduction to weaving Huck & Twills.
In this video Jane shows us how to weave some of the hems.
How Jane designed the 16 Huck & Twill placemats and we go through each one of them, step by step how they were woven.
Let's weave the placemats! Jane demonstrates several techniques on how she wove the placemats.
Let's view all the sample placemats!
