Woven fabric is made by passing threads over and under one another
Patterned weave
Working a loom takes practice and rhythm
Before 1800, patterns had to be picked out by hand
In 1801 Joseph Jacquard invented a revolutionary new loom attachment
This is how it works
First the fabric design is copied onto squared paper
A skilled worker translates the design into punched cards
The cards are stitched together in a continuous belt and fed into the loom
Automation enabled by the Jacquard Loom made complex designs cheaper to produce
In 1801, French weaver Joseph Jacquard invented a new loom attachment which automated how patterns were woven.
We filmed this one in action at Paisley Museum
This is how it works.
First, the fabric design is sketched and transferred on to squared paper.
A skilled worker translates the design into punched cards.
The holes in the cards select threads for the pattern and allow the hooks to pass through.
Each complete card represents one row of the pattern
The cards are stitched together in a chain and fed into the loom.
The weaver creates the patterned fabrics by passing threads over and under one another using a shuttle.
Punched cards were still used in some computers until the mid-1980s.
Jacquard knitting is a technique that lets you work with two or more colors in the same row.
The diagram tells you which colors to use. Each square represents a stitch
Read the diagram from left to right, starting from the bottom right comer.
Knit with Color A to the point where you have to change color
Enter Color B and work the stitches indicated with the new color.
Take Color A again and continue knitting according to the diagram
On the wrong-side rows, follow the diagram from left to right.
Now the threads of the color change are facing you Be careful not to tie them!
Let's try again: practice makes perfect!
