Weaving has a lot of terms, doesn’t it? Today, let’s dive into 2 key weaving pattern terms – threading and treadling.
What I find so humorous (and confusing) is that both words are actually really similar! There are only a few letters differentiating them from each other.
No wonder you’re confused! Thus, episode 128 to the rescue! My hope is that after watching this video, you’ll have a clear understanding of these key weaving pattern terms, and how to use them in creating your beautiful weaving patterns.
If that doesn’t happen, just drop me a line and I’ll help you sort it out. I’ve got you!
