This part of the tutorial will present the steps for weaving a 2 color arrowhead pattern wherer the colors alternate sides.
The headstick configuration has one half the warp strands that form the arrowhead as one collor and the other half a second color. Weaving will start on the right side of the work-piece. The weft strands from the two sides meet at the middle where they become the middle warp strands. [NOTE] There are two formes of the two colored arrowhead:
In the other form the colors of the arrowheads stay on the same side. |
