Plain weave doesn't have to be plain. Using different colors to create patterns with your plain weave is a great way to mix it up!
Tablet weaving is fraught with trapdoors, little mistakes that are easy to make. This pre-weaving checklist may keep you from falling into one.
I was surprised with a nice 3-D fabric when I wove with one yarn that shrinks more than another yarn after wet finishing. I think this is referred to as differential shrinkage in weaving. I also …

The reason that rugs are a subject of such fascination and admiration for so many is that within their threads they carry the weight of history. The designs (which may have religious, talismanic or totemic meanings) tell the stories of their weavers, and of traditions passed down from one generation to the next.
Designed and woven by Annie MacHaleaspinnerweaver.comInkle weaving gives you the ability to make so many practical and beautiful items for everyday use. Of all the things I have woven on my Schacht inkle looms—I currently have 8—one of the most useful has been this little bracelet, which I also use as a watchband.It all started when I came across some small 1/2" side release buckles and thought that they would work nicely for a little woven bracelet. I wove bands using crochet cotton, which comes in so many wonderful and bright colors! The bracelets were so lightweight and comfortable to wear, I began making collections of them that I could mix and match in bunches. I then made the happy discovery that the 1/2" band fitted my watch perfectly. Naturally, I made my own custom watch band, and it is truly the most comfortable watch band that I have ever owned.My coworkers and friends saw them and loved them, too. They helped me imagine other uses for this little strap with a side release buckle. They can be used as bracelets or watch bands. You can also attach your keys or water bottle to a purse or backpack. They are versatile and useful for everyone!Project SpecsWeave structure: plain weaveWeaving width: 1/2"Number of warp ends: 35Warp length: 78", which will yield 6 to 8 bracelets.

I watch many new weavers who are anxious to weave beautiful and complex patterns like the ones they see others posting photos of, maybe not even realizing that there are so many levels of pattern and designs, even to narrow warp-faced bands. While the various pickup patterns are beautiful, I sincerely believe that the place to start is with plain weave. And plain weave has endless pattern possibilities! You don't have to do pickup to have a good time! FOR SIMPLICITY OF USE, CONSIDER THE TOP ROW TO BE HEDDLED THREADS AND THE BOTTOM ROW TO BE OPEN THREADS ON ALL OF THE DRAFTS. This pattern, over time, has proven to be the most popular one posted on my blog. I've seen so many iterations of it in various color combinations. It works well with lots of color combinations! It is pattern #179 in my book, In Celebration of Plain Weave: Color & Design Inspiration for Inkle Weavers. For this band, two types of pattern drafts are shown below. Then a link is given to the Band Weaving Pattern Editor where you can call it up yourself and edit as you wish. This type of pattern draft closely represents the threads as they show in a woven band. This type of pattern draft shows the warp threads as squares with blank spaces in between them, making it easier to read at a glance. If you'd like to redesign it in your own colorway, you can start with the pattern here and switch up the colors to suit you. http://www.raktres.net/l/K0 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ My inkle weaving is at a production level. I make and sell hundreds of pieces each year; about 90% of these are plain weave. Since I state that "each one is one-of-a-kind", there need to be new and creative combinations of color and pattern each time I set up my loom. I've been weaving for years and keep inventing something new each time. Plain weave is never boring to me! In this post are an assortment of straps woven in 2013 each illustrated with a photo and pattern draft so that you can create your own versions if you wish, or use them as a jumping off point to draft your own patterns. These are all combinations of a few pattern elements like stripes, chains and "teeth". ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Here on my Flickr page, there is an album devoted just to plain weave patterns if you'd like to browse. http://www.flickr.com/photos/aspinnerweaver/sets/72157626855413579/

I have a confession to make. I can’t read a draft designed for rigid heddle looms! Terrible isn’t it? But they just don’t make sense to me. So, as is my wont, I designed my own way of writing things. They make perfect sense to me. Many of you are already familiar with my way of writing the pick-up patterns for weaving. I hope that once you get the hang of it you end up finding it as intuitive as I do. (Seriously, I’d love your feedback on my style!)
