A new tutorial: the crossed warp technique

Posted on August 6, 2022August 6, 2022 by Marieke

In the summer of 2017, I was able to purchase all editions of the Dutch Crafts Magazine “Hand-werken Zonder Grenzen”. In one of the editions, the crossed warp technique for a backstrap loom was described by Marijke van Epen. I managed to make one band, but I found it rather complicated. Not long after, Geja showed how to do this technique on an inkle loom. Much easier and I even enjoyed it!

That was the start of three crossed warp bands, after which I stopped doing it, because I didn’t really understand what was happening. I could make the patterns that Marijke had written out, but that was it. The concluding sentence in the article “Children are also very able to create new patterns!” was particularly frustrating. Hmmm, kids maybe, but not me. Adele Cahlander’s original article didn’t help either; actually I found that even more complicated.

So for over two years I didn’t do anything with the crossed warp technique, until I came across one of the three bands. Time to see if I might understand it now. The first band went wrong; the threads were not tied, the crossings were not formed…. Until I saw what went wrong and also understood what was actually happening. After that I was able to make the translation from the backstrap loom to the inkle loom and I managed to draw patterns myself. That was the moment I fell in love with the crossed warp technique.

With this tutorial, in which I have also included many patterns, I hope to get many weavers excited for this relatively unknown technique.

NL/EN In het voorjaarsnummer van TWIST @twistorg NL/EN 
In het voorjaarsnummer van TWIST @twistorg publiceerde Barbara Scheel en @silvia_aisling een artikel over 1 patroon in 3 verschillende uitvoeringen. En natuurlijk moest ik dit weven. Het is enorm boeiend om te zien wat er gebeurt. Ik heb telkens dezelfde kleuren gebruikt, maar zie eens wat het grijs in de verschillende technieken doet! Live te zien tijdens de Open Atelierroute Baarn! @openatelierroute_baarn op 26 en 27 augustus. 

In Spring 2021 Barbara Scheel @silvia_aisling published an article in TWIST @twistorg about one motif in different techniques. And of course, I had to weave them. It is very interesting what is happening! I used the same colors for all three techniques (4 threads per tablet, missing hole, 2 threads per tablet).

The @textilemuseumofcanada has a Totonicapan band The @textilemuseumofcanada has a Totonicapan band in its collection and based on this I recreated the part with the butterflies. 1 m long, 7 cm wide, using @vennecolcoton 16/2 cotton for the warp and weft and DMC for the additional weft threads. I’m in love with my own band … 😍
