Weaving and Math: A Great Combination
Someone told me that there were 65, 534 possible tie-up combinations on a 16-shaft loom. I didn’t know whether that was true, but I thought it was worth finding out.

Weaver’s choice refers to the times a weaver gets to choose between or among options as they work on a project.
There are 14 possible tie-ups for a 4-shaft loom, and all of them can be accomplished with just four treadles--even if the draft is for six treadles!
How can you weave a project that calls for 7 treadles using a loom with only 6 treadles? Try changing your tie-up.
How do you translate the tie-ups in a block weave pattern to use on a table loom?
