Weaves 731
For the next weft thread, a different treadle is pressed, raising a different set of harnesses
and, hence, a different set of warp threads.
An example of a simple weave using 1) grey horizontal weft threads and 2)
black vertical warp threads.
In traditional weaving, you need to follow a draft to create a weave. A draft is a set of
instructions for setting up a loom to produce a weave. The draft contains the following
details:
• warp threading definition — describes how to set up the loom for threading the
vertical threads (number of threads, sequence, and color)
• weft threading definition — describes how to set up the loom for treadling the
horizontal threads (number of threads, sequence, and color)
• tie-up — instructs the weaver which of the warp rows to use when weaving a given
weft thread
In Corel Painter, the Edit Weave dialog box allows you to draft a weave pattern. For
information, see “Using the Edit Weave dialog box” on page 731.
Using the Edit Weave dialog box
You can draft a weave using the Edit Weave dialog box, which is intended for an 8-
harness, 8-treadle loom.
