This post helps to explain things quite a bit. So thank you!<br />One question though. Isn't block C supposed to be threaded 3 4 1 4 and block D threaded 4 1 2 1? Your diagram shows it correctly but your explanation shows it differently. Could you clarify that for me please?<br />Thank you so much!!Denahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15133290269023437664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8767897696623067165.post-84427106722954782432012-01-29T15:40:31.545-08:002012-01-29T15:40:31.545-08:00Thank you so much for this post.

I have always been drawn towards Crackle Weave patterns and will now have to give them a try. Your red text inserts helped me check myself, and by golly I think I've got it. I look forward to seeing more crackle weave explanations and samples from you.Denise/CThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12752568421532207019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8767897696623067165.post-58295036298848662072012-01-22T16:18:25.896-08:002012-01-22T16:18:25.896-08:00Hi Kerstin,

That or the modern usage has changed it yet again.<br /><br />As for the treadle as writ: I don't know about this. If you look at the paper draft image you'll see the tie up is the standard twill settings and you can note the treadling used. This was represented to me as the 'correct' method for classic crackle. Since I passed a test level with two master weavers marking it, I can only assume its correct!<br /><br />I think Susan Wilson's book is very timely and I'm looking forward to reading it further. There has been very little written on crackle that really defines it.<br /><br />Most interesting! I will be certain to come and read your blog post as well.<br />Best regards, SusanSusan https://www.blogger.com/profile/09707139508896058818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8767897696623067165.post-23827261909430974582012-01-22T09:14:33.180-08:002012-01-22T09:14:33.180-08:00Hi Susan!

Jämtlands*väv* is something else (namely what we Swedes also call smålandsväv).<br /><br />Anyway. Somewhere (that I can't find again, unfortunately) I have read that it should be treadled-exactly-as-drawn with a three-colour rotation. As this is unheard of in Sweden, I wonder: have you any idea of how/why this came about?

I've not worked with crackle, but will certainly refer back to this...probably multiple times...to have it fully sink in.<br /><br />It's so good to hear that Bruce is in a good place and continuing to improve.

So good to hear, and here's to wishing a healthy remainder of the new year to the both of you.<br /><br />Thanks so much for sharing such an in-depth look at this weave structure!lindahttp://treadlings.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8767897696623067165.post-75583445202050546122012-01-17T23:32:41.743-08:002012-01-17T23:32:41.743-08:00Thank you for this GREAT blog post!!!Thank you for this GREAT blog post!!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07748531990834618606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8767897696623067165.post-41230223229371104962012-01-17T22:43:19.928-08:002012-01-17T22:43:19.928-08:00Aha!

I borrowed Susan's book from the guild library and I imagine I'll end up with my own copy.<br /><br />I'm by no means an expert but thought I'd point out what I think is a typo in your post in case you want to correct it. The section right under "We'll wait", I think it should be A,C,D is still 1,3,4 (not 1,2,3,4).<br /><br />I'm glad to hear Bruce is doing better, and hope it continues!Restless Knitterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09294058981082102869noreply@blogger.com
