Wow, it is amazing to think how long those fancy trims took to weave in the middle ages. I am working on some vestments for my church, and some of them take 12 or 13 meters of trim. With machine-woven trims at only several dollars a yard or meter the trim still costs nearly as much as the fine fabrics. Centuries ago all of the materials would have been even more expensive and much more time consuming!

"it is I, the caption goblin" made me cackle. Your captions are always another layer of fun times, love all the small shenanigans you do! Would these woven band just be for say "belt" or would they also be used for hems on dresses and decoration in a hairdo?

Tablet woven bands in general could be used for a great many things, but the silk and precious metal ones seem to have been worn prominently displayed, like jewellery.

I'm speechless at your patience and skill. I'm just starting my journey in inkle/card weaving (I'm building my loom right now). I love the fine detailed work you did in this video. Not the same thing but it reminds me of fine lace work with cobweb weight yarn.... so detailed and so beautiful. Thanks for sharing your work!

I've been thinking about trying brocade so this video was great to get me started. I've realized that making fancy bookmarks are a great presents for friends with kids. At least if they are friends who can appreciate he silly amount of hours that is put into something as simple as a bookmark :) It's also a nice way to get small projects so I can try more patterns and techniques. As for the S/Z threading. The explanation I've heard for the variation is that some use the tablet to determine it, whether it leans / like a z or \ like an s. Others go by how the threads lean, which will be opposite.

Absolutely, they make fabulous bookmarks! And yes, the confusion around how z/s is used is why I always advise people to read the intro of the book/resource for their definition. Having the pattern show up underneath is funny the first few times it happens, but it’s a lot easier to work when you can see what you are doing. 😂

The pattern, at least as shown in your PDF, contains an error in rows 1 through 5. Notice there is only 1 white square between the black squares at 5,14 and 7,14. There should be three to match the rest of the pattern. The correction begins with making the first 3 rows symmetrical, the rest you should be able to see.

The asymmetry comes from the original, as well as I could interpret it. I chose to replicate it, but you are free to weave it symmetrically if you wish. We do only have a small fraction of a larger whole, after all. So it is difficult to know if this is intentional of the original weaver or not.

Quick question, is your silver thread also silk?
@KristineVike
2 жыл бұрын
It is! It is a hammered silver strand wrapped around a silk core, just like the original. It was really challenging to find a non-polyester, (both core and "silver"), metallic thread, but I eventually got help from the FB group "Advanced Tablet Weaving /Brettchenweben für Fortgeschrittene". I wouldn't normally recommend FB, but that group is really amazing and full of really skilled, knowledgeable artisans.

Lovely video, thank you! Is there anything that you have to do to maintain the border, or is there no difference from tablet weaving?
@KristineVike
3 жыл бұрын
Same as other tablet weaving; make sure the borders are turning the same way to get an even result (until you can no more and have to go the other way). You could pull the brocade up a few cards before the end or the invisible weft technique (on the edge card on either side you take three threads over the weft thread and one thread under the weft). But these are intermediate techniques for any tablet weaving and nothing special for brocade. :)

@@KristineVike thank you so much! It helps a lot. One last thought; what gauge wire do you typically use for brocade?
@KristineVike
3 жыл бұрын
@@bjorn8453 Oooh, great question! I remember that being a massive pain, as most modern metallic wire is too thin, and for brocade you want something a smidge thicker than the rest of your warp and weft to get that lovely continuous look, and not a series of interrupted lines, if you know what I mean. If you are on Facebook, there is this amazing group called "Historical Tablet Weaving" or something like that (I have since stopped using FB). They helped me with suppliers last time I did a reconstruction, even going so far as letting me buy stock off someone who had access to resources I do not. They are super knowledgeable and helpful!
