Twill Gamp Sampling Project -- come and weave
  • ​A small twill gamp is ready for your practice, on a 4-shaft Harrisville loom in the classroom.  It is threaded for blocks of straight twill, broken twill, Rosepath and Bird’s eye.  There are many other possibilities (e.g., tromp as writ). 
  • ​Please be sure to weave about an inch at the end of your sample so there will be room to cut and zigzag and place a tag with your name on the side of your work.  Make notes of what you  are weaving as you change the treadling and take that with you to go with the sample when it is returned to you.​
  • Please let us know if you have other ideas for a participatory gamp.
