Issue 11 Volume 3 No 1 Spring 2002 Complementary Plain Weave
I copied information about the selvedges from the warp-face projects into the balanced projects by mistake. The text should read:
Page 8: right column:
Weaving: ...(place 5 ends in the dent rather than 4).
Page 12: center column:
Weaving: ...(place 5 ends in the dent rather than 4).
Page 15: left column:
Weaving: ... there will be 3 ends in the dent rather than 4 (the last dent on the left has 2 ends in the dent).
Issue 16 Volume 5 No 1 Spring 2004 Monk's Belt and Bias Cloth Strips
Page 10: Puffy Tea Cozy and Striped Napkins
Tiny error: The Total Warp Ends should be 398 (not 402).
Issue 17 Twill and Basket Weave Combined
Page 8:
Under Weaving: Some copies should say "Start the shuttle at the left side to catch both selvedges."
Page 10:
Some copies need a Warp Color Order for Twill Mosaic Towels.

Page 12:
In some copies, the threading draft has a few ends of shaft 3 shown on the wrong line.
Issue 19 Log Cabin and Where It Leads
Page 6: Bamboo Shoots Rep Placemats
Tiny error: The Warp Color Order should end with 1 dark blue-green (not 1 light green).
Issue 20 Danish Medallion and Accents for Plain Weave
Page 6: Spring Flowers Towels
At the bottom of the left column, the last line should read
…2 1/2" raspberry, 2" black-edged white, 2 1/2" green plus 1 1/4" hem in green.
Issue 23 Barleycorn
Proofreader was loafing.
This issue has several errors due to last-minute changes to align selvedge threadings between projects. Though most of them are small, corrections will make your weaving go more smoothly.
Page 2:
In the tie-up of the draft, two treadles are the same by mistake—the right-hand treadle of the pair should lift shafts 2 and 3.
Page 3:
Photo caption at left should end
. . . on the right, the back of the fabric shows the same pattern in warp floats. (not weft floats)
Page 5: Special Selvedges for Barleycorn
The end of the third paragraph should read . . . add a tie from shaft 5 to each of the three pattern treadles lifting shafts 3-4, shafts 2-4, and shafts 2-3, as well as the tabby treadle lifting shafts 2-3-4. These treadles alternate with the tabby treadle lifting only shaft 1.
Page 6: Yellow Barleycorn Mats or Towels
Total Warp Ends should be 231 (not 229) and the Heddle Count near the draft should show 32 ends on shaft 3 for a total of 231 ends.
Page 10: Blue Barleycorn Mats or Towels
In the Complete Threading Draft, the top section of the draft that continues to the end is missing a warp end on shaft 1.
Profile Treadling draft: The treadling sequence as printed is preferable to the simplified version shown below, which matches the project photo on page 11.

Page 12: Wool Barleycorn Throw
First paragraph should read . . . For a larger throw about 40" wide by 60" long plus fringe, use the threading draft for Blue Barleycorn Mats or Towels on page 10, but use 7 repeats (instead of 6) and omit the C block (4, 1, 4, 1) at each end of the threading draft for a total of 479 ends. Make a warp 3 yds long, sley it 48" in the reed, and weave about 75".
Profile Treadling draft: The treadling sequence as printed is preferable to the simplified version shown below, which matches the project photo on page 13.
Simplified Profile Treadling
Page 14: Two-Color Barleycorn Scarf
Total Warp Ends should be 143 (not 141) and the Heddle Count near the draft should show 32 ends on shaft 3 and 71 ends on shaft 1 for a total of 143 ends.
Issue 26 How to Turn a Draft
Page 4: Holiday Runner
The tie-up weaves the fabric wrong side up. Use this tie-up instead.
Click on the image for a larger version of the tie-up for the Holiday Runner.
Also, in the Heddle Count near the draft, the number of ends on shafts 3 and 4 are switched.
Page 12: Cameo Napkins
The treadling for the Band should start and end with 2 shots lifting shafts 2-3, 2 shots lifting shafts 3-4 (not 1-2).
Issue 27 Baby Blankets
Page 8: Atwater's Basket Weave Baby Blanket
Under Variations: The easiest way to change the size of the blanket it to use a multiple of 18, the number of ends in one threading repeat.
Issue 28 Swivel, Petit Point, & Related Laces
Page 6: Wine Bottle Holder
The Hoosier lace section of the treadling sequence should have Gs and not Ps. Use lime green weft only.

Page 15:
At the top of the left column, which is continued from page 10, the first sentence should end with
…and the rest of the length lattice (not swivel).
Issue 29 Waffle Weave
Page 10: Waffle Weave Throw
The tie-up should be
Page 15: Pistachio Waffle Scarf
Change Warp Length to 2 3/4 yd to weave a scarf with On-Loom Length of 60" or more and Finished Length of 60" plus 2" fringe at each end.
