Huck Lace 4 or 8 Shafts

Changing a 4-shaft huck threading into an 8-shaft huck draft

Draft from Davison, page 79: Norse Huck-A-Back.

I have added plain weave to the edges (yellow). This is the way I prefer to weave Huck, with floats in the weft direction. I find it easier to tell where I am in the pattern repeat.

Note: the original draft images for this article are no longer available.

Same draft with the shafts rearranged so that it is easier to understand the 8-shaft version.

Now for the 8-shaft version. It takes more warp threads to show the whole repeat.

This is a variation in treadling to produce a little diamond design. There are many things you could design.
