After the Jacq loom took over from the Draw loom, textile art really went down- everything became automated and now the textiles look nothing more than just another commodity. Keep in mind the basic difference- Jacq looms were really created for industrial purposes and to ease operations- with ease comes convenience and quickness and i guess human beings get too lazy with convenience. Only read his most basic chapter explaining the Jacquard Loom and its components (should not be more than 10 pages at most)- i think that his book is for engineers interested in Jacq looms so dont get too crazy with the details !Īn FYI- drawloom setups differed geographically- but again very similar conceptually! But at this stage reading the above is enough! For Jacquard Loom- theres an author called Fred Bradbury – again you can download his books from the link mentioned above too. ONLY READ THIS CHAPTER AND NO MORE TO GET AN IDEA OF THE DRAWLOOM conceptually. ” – download from ( ) – read the introduction and then go straight to Chapter XVI- The Drawloom & thread monture. The books id recommend for drawloom basics are- “Luther Hooper- Weaving Plain & Ornamental. At this stage, id recommend reading about Draw looms and then Jacquard looms – JUST THE BASICS of their mechanisms. Now that youre completed (hopefully) everything that i mention in Part 1, I think that youre ready to study structures of compound textiles- meaning those with more than 1 warp. The nature of studying structure/looms is such that there is constant studying to be done till you understand all the components that go into making an elaborate textile- from creating good pattern repeats to understanding structure to understanding loom setups. I am sorry for such a delayed post but iv been busy with a lot of reading and planning.
