Session: Drawdowns – Blueprints for Success

Description:

A drawdown is a drawing that shows you the structure of a fabric and helps you answer questions like

* What sett should I use?
* Is my fabric going to get narrower, shorter or ruffled when I take it off the loom?
* If I mix these two treadlings together, will I get wavy selvages?
* If I mix these two threadings together, what will happen where they meet?

Not bad for a drawing you can make quickly with nothing but pen and paper!

Learn how to create a drawdown from a draft, how to analyze what it represents, and then how to use that information when designing a fabric and planning a project.
