Get tips for working with elastic yarns, including winding from cones, warping, threading, and finishing.
Active yarns can cause a woven cloth to be transformed completely during wet-finishing, forming pleats, bumps, furrows, and other wavy and unusual textures. Active yarns include fullable wools, highly twisted (crepe) yarns, some metallics, and elastic yarns—perhaps the most “active” of all.
With normal care, elastic yarn can retain its elastic properties for a very long time. In this short but information-packed article, you’ll get tips for weaving with these yarns, including winding from cones, warping, threading, and finishing.
In this PDF you'll find the original 8-shaft draft and the 4-shaft reduced version.
