The double-width Bonas-Griffith loom was introduced in 1993 to produce a wider, softer and lighter tweed. The loom is lit from below to allow the weaver see flaws. There are 1400 warp threads each with a length 75 or 58 meters. This loom is the basis of the Harris Tweed industry in the Hebridies, where about 140 looms are in operation. The loom is operated with foot power like a bicycle.

When Carol Johnson graciously boxed up many tapestries for me to share at the Weavers Guild of Minnesota, she included three hangings in figurative boundweave. Hmmm...should I put them up?

TapestrIES WOVEN IN THE GOBELIN TECHNIQUE
A long time ago, when I posted the difference and between muslin, voile, lawn, and batiste (among other fabrics), someone asked if I could explain the difference between brocade and jacquard. I took a deep breath, and say “Yes, but it will take a while.” It certainly has, because it’s actually quite a big question, and there is so much confusion around it! A lot of the confusion come from the fact that while the appearance of brocade has stayed very similar throughout history, the method of creating it has changed drastically. Prior to 1801 brocades were woven on hand operated draw-looms by master weavers, who manually created the elaborate brocade patterns as they were woven in with the help of a drawboy, who stood on a perch above the loom. Then, in 1801 Joseph Marie Jacquard demonstrated a new invention (albeit one based partly on a series of inventions from the 1740s-60s) – a loom which ran on cards with holes punched in them.
