Pick-up techniques are just what they sound
like; techniques that employ picking up (and sometimes dropping)
certain warp threads. Once you start working with the pick-up
techniques, the number of "styles" of designs increases
dramatically. There are many different ways to do the pick-up
techniques, too many to cover is this information packet.
But, once you have experience with these, you can experiment
with others or make up your own. There are three primary
styles.
- pick-up technique on the horizontal stripe
- background pick-up
on the spotted background
- pick-up on basketweave background technique
The three are all basically the same.
The difference is mostly in the background. The books that
are available for purchase will have details for these techniques. |
