This design is a variation of the tapestry weave using a set of core cords and thinner cotton material to create a matrix of color. The basic move is a loop over and under the core cords to build an offset weave.<br />
<br />
The second color is looped over and under on the opposite side filling the gaps.<br />

This little bangle is another project exploiting the possibilities of a common modern material PVC plastic. This design tales advantage of PVC's ability to take and hold a shape when heated as well as the polished finish made with a cotton buffing process.<br />
<br />
The overlapping ends are tapered to maintain the proportions of diameter to width then the rough shape is warmed in a stovetop water bath. The softened plastic is then placed on an oval mold and allowed to cool.<br />

The rough-cut is then sanded to remove the cutting tool marks then buffed with a motorized wheel. The cotton buffing prices heats the surface of the plastic just enough to fuse the surface creating the smooth semi-polished texture.<br />

I really like the color of this walnut brown dye batch so naturally I'm using it in these tapestry weave cuff projects. There are two innovations here:<br />
<br />
1. The loops have one leg near the center of the weave which makes for a more secure grip on the button.<br />
<br />
2. The warp cord ends are returned into the warp forming loops instead of cut off ends. This creates a less ragged end under the loops.<br />

In this photo you can see some of the detail in the clay button. There are a pair of larger holes for the 3 mm warp cord. The surface texture is created with a walnut shell before the baking process hardens the clay. This button is made from the stock white Sculpy clay which has a bit of sparkle to it (invisible in the picture of course…)<br />
<br />
Made on a 7" mold the finished cuff is about 6 1/2" (165 mm) inside circumference. This is a 6 strand warp, the center two strands are combined.<br />

Using a 10 strand warp this design has a center of dark blue cotton with alternating triangles of blue inset along the edge. A pair of buttons and loops secure the ends.<br />
<br />
The weave is a simple over-under plain weave throughout. Made on a loom.<br />

This cuff uses three different colors and two different weave patterns to achieve the contrasting textures.<br />
<br />
The center is an open double strand weave where the weft is <i>not </i>compressed leaving the warp cords exposed in the checkerboard pattern.<br />
<br />
The darker blue and grey segments use a double strand weft in a double over-under weave. Each pass is compressed against the weave to eliminate gaps. The gray segment uses a single loop at the edge of the double over-under weave.<br />

The non compressed weft creates openings exposing the warp. The cotton warp cords exert enough friction on the weft to prevent bunch ups and distortions. (If you use a synthetic warp there is less friction so this technique works best with cotton.)<br />

This cuff really is made with string - the variegated color of the weft comes from the use of dyed cordage that has been unwound exposing the color gradient within each of the yarns.<br />
<br />
These pieces of partially dyed cotton yarn then are used in a tapestry weave on an eight strand warp.<br />
<br />
(Now I know where the term "warp core" originated …beam me up Scotty!)<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_seESKQ0TVSmJd_potalr2CaN3tZq77NvfvL1tq-3i6oskt5lYnG0mmVcJ11QffvGPQw6oGtGU0zAMIkki1zGeTb0UaIONQYP22B9uNlGIjSo69kzkFUGCoTtrJdEGEcjdZ8LTTRpd1li/s1600/P3010076.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_seESKQ0TVSmJd_potalr2CaN3tZq77NvfvL1tq-3i6oskt5lYnG0mmVcJ11QffvGPQw6oGtGU0zAMIkki1zGeTb0UaIONQYP22B9uNlGIjSo69kzkFUGCoTtrJdEGEcjdZ8LTTRpd1li/s320/P3010076.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
So here you can see the variegated color effects of the weft strands within the color fields. The button is a poly clay boulder button, readers of this blog had seen these on other bracelets. These are custom made with two oversize holes. The rounded shape passes smoothly thought the loops but stays put when engaged.<br />

What makes this design different is the thicker ribs formed by the warp cords.<br />
<br />
The colors are a combination of red and black walnut dyed cotton string. The warp is black polyester cord. Button is a custom made poly clay two hole disc with a textured surface.<br />

<br />
In this bracelet there are a pair of warp cords in each pass instead of just one. This makes each rib a <b>double width</b> and gives the design a different proportion.<br />

Part 8: Finishing the weave<br />
<br />
When the gaps are full of cord use the tapestry needle to bury the end this time in the center of the weave.<br />
<br />
Leave about 1" and draw the string carefully through the weave until the slack is gone.<br />
<br />
Use enough force to firmly compact the weave but be careful not to distort the weave pattern.<br />
<br />
Also trim off the exposed warp strands where they emerge from the weave. Don't accidentally cut the weft strands!<br />

When the slack is removed trim off the extra piece with a scissor or cutting tool.<br />
<br />

Part 7: Adding a second color and finishing the weave<br />
<br />
In this example a second darker color weft string is used to add interest to the design. The weaving is the same technique as before using a new segment of cord. Start by burying the new weft in the existing work then continue weaving.<br />
<br />
Cut a length of the weft string and double it on the tapestry needle as before.<br />
<br />
Insert the needle under the the weave alongside the warp strand about 1" from the end and draw the new weft string through the weave.<br />
<br />
Then resume the weaving from side to side observing the opposite over-under pattern as before keeping the weft strands parallel at the turns without crossovers!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMtuJ4lxAgJOC1Z14KNgEJGBKqghohVF8jjVnjPq3btsP-ZsJvUFnpaTTZDz8i0n2rfBtKgp7lzzpCnQLd9j8NF3sUZkZPZi4onP81BS8ccIkZ4rKctKlIBGExBXZ-ZEgb__uAQBhl-Ds_/s1600/IMG_1041.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMtuJ4lxAgJOC1Z14KNgEJGBKqghohVF8jjVnjPq3btsP-ZsJvUFnpaTTZDz8i0n2rfBtKgp7lzzpCnQLd9j8NF3sUZkZPZi4onP81BS8ccIkZ4rKctKlIBGExBXZ-ZEgb__uAQBhl-Ds_/s320/IMG_1041.jpg" width="240" /></a></div>
<br />
Continue the weave with the weft strands held parallel at the edges.<br />
<br />
After each pass pack the weft cords down to eliminate gaps in the weave. Work from the turn edge across the weave towards the loose end allowing the weft to fill the gaps.<br />
<br />
Pattern shift:<br />
<br />
Here you will notice that those two loose ends of the warp strands have been grouped with the outside strands forming a new pattern:<br />
<br />
over two - under one - over one - under two<br />
<br />
leave the ends of the warp strands exposed, you will trim these off later.<br />

<br />
At the button end continue weaving until the loops are stuffed with cord as shown. Use the tapestry needle to find the gaps and pack the weft firmly.<br />
<br />
Fill the remaining gap at the button with the same figure-8 weave of the weft pair.<br />
<br />
