Sponsored by TWIST - Tablet Weavers International Studies & Techniques Dear Peter, I thought I should clarify what I said in my last email. I was in a hurry when I sent it off. What I meant was, I am going to revisit several chapters in your TTW book. I read most of it many years ago when I purchased it and because it is my tablet weaving "bible", I tend to read what I need to know at the moment and it is obvious that I need to read more of it. Also, I did know that bands can be made in many ways, such as inkle, kumihimo but I hadn't actually realized that warp twining could be done in other ways other than tablet weaving. I am aware of Linda's exploration in ply splitting but haven't tried it myself. There is only so much time in ones life and I have narrowed my skills to handweaving, spinning and tablet weaving. Knowing more about other techniques is something I should explore further if only to understand more clearly what I DO know.Does that make sense? All the best, Judy

TTW, Chapter 17 describes and illustrates eight, namely, Ply-Split Darning, Loop-Manipulation, using the Aya-Take-dai and the Maru-Dai, finger manipulation of stretched threads, throwing warp over stiff weft, using the "Triller" and industrial methods.
