Belt made with tablet weaving by me, sulawesi technique with 16 cards and 6 extra for the edge, 3 threads per card, missing background.

I’m completely hooked on Tablet weaving. Tablet weaving (or card weaving) uses cards and yarn to create patterned bands. I love the small details, how quickly it weaves up and how useful the finished product is. It’s a surprise every time I turn the cards and a pattern actually emerges!  T

I have spent six months learning tablet weaving and here are some tips that I want to share with beginners struggling with their first bands.

Showing how to change colours by either rotating the tablet in the opposite direction or by flipping the tablet about its vertical axis then continuing rotation in the same direction At the diagram 1 (notice the numbers I have put on the picture), the tablet is threaded up and ready to go. It is turned forward 1/4 turn to get to diagram 2. You can see that the hole that was at position A rises up - this thread will be on the top of the weave, so this line of weave will be blue. At diagram 2, you can see that the threads in positions A and D are the same colour. This means that it doesn't matter which way you turn the tablets, the next row will always be blue. However, since the tablets were turned forwards last time, it's best to turn them forwards again to get to diagram 3. (If you changed direction at this point, having only made 1 forwards turn, then one of the threads would float over 3 weft threads and look a little strange in your weave.) Having made a 1/4 turn to get to diagram 3, you can see that positions A and D now have different coloured threads in them again. If you continued turning the cards forwards, then the red thread at position A would rise up and would be on top of the weave at this point. However, let's say you want to keep the colour blue at this point and not red. There are TWO ways to do this. Firstly, you can flip the card about its vertical axis, which would take you from diagram 3 to diagram 4. Notice that the direction of threading of the card has changed - this is generally OK and won't matter, but it's worth noticing. Now if you continue to rotate this card forwards (diagram 5) you can see that a blue thread that was in position A in diagram 4 rises up. If you have a whole pack of cards and are turning them all forwards, but just want to change the colour of some of them, then this method is really good. Flip the cards where you want the colour to change, then carry on rotating the whole pack forwards. The second way to keep the blue thread on top of the weave from diagram 3 is to turn the card backwards...as shown in diagram 6. This time, the thread in position D rises up and is on top of the weave - so the weave will be blue at this point. If you are changing the colour of the whole pack, then this is a really quick way to do it. Simply change the direction in which you turn the whole pack.
