Sponsored by TWIST - Tablet Weavers International Studies & Techniques
Hi all,
With regards to early (or later pieces actually) which may have been tablet
woven, I recently worked on a reconstruction of a braid trim from the 1620s.
It is a thin trim on a doublet which is currently in Perth Museum and Art
Gallery. I was unable to go to Perth personally to see the trim (I am
currently a full-time carer), and so worked from photographs, creating
samples which were then taken to the conservators working on the doublet to
compare. In my experiments, I found that I could weave the reconstruction
with either tablets or using pairs of bobbins.
I chose tablets for the final item, partially because I am quicker at
tablet weaving, but primarily because I don't know as much about bobbin
lace and its development. I couldn't find any examples in various bobbin
lace books of something so simple, and the structure was the same with both
options.
You can see the reconstructed items at my website -
