You can find drafts for them in Shelp's "Eight Shafts: A Place to Begin" or Strickler's "A Weaver's Book of 8-Shaft Patterns." On the whole, I don't care for them. Zielinski's 8-blcoks on 4 shafts crackle ideas are very different. You'll find them in Volume 8 of Zielinski's "Master Weaver's Library."Peg in South Carolinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07886923838871937466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3579646299718167254.post-46682083866160163062009-01-22T15:00:00.000-04:002009-01-22T15:00:00.000-04:00I had a careful look at your posts about 8 shaft t...I had a careful look at your posts about 8 shaft tie ups and threadings yesterday and I think you're right about starting with four shafts. For one thing, I want to test out a number of four shaft treadling variations anyway and, for another, I think some other members of my guild might drop in to try out some basic crackle on my loom. Between us all, I think we'll whip right through the 6 yards I put on without even getting to the 8 shaft versions. I'll warp again later for that.Janethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09506014565625306396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3579646299718167254.post-82010975864122933872009-01-22T14:52:00.000-04:002009-01-22T14:52:00.000-04:00Making it up as you go along is one of the things...Making it up as you go along is one of the things I like about crackle. If this is your first real experimenting with crackle, I'd stick with 4 shaft. Or, do a straight draw crackle threading on 8 shafts. Tie it up on 1 through 4 the same as 5 through 8. This will give you the same results four shaft would give you, but it would give you the opportunity to then try 8-shaft crackle tie-ups when you are done or bored with 4-shaft.Peg in South Carolinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07886923838871937466noreply@blogger.com
