Interlacing Gallery

1-1 Interlacing

Since 1-1 interlacing is essentially an oblique plain weave, some traditional weaving patterns can be reproduced in sprang. The houndstooth pattern and log cabin pattern result from 1-1 interlacing with a specific arrangement of the threads on the frame. See my blog post for instructions on creating the log cabin pattern.
Before discovering these patterns I had fun arranging colors on the frame and seeing what happened.

2-2 Interlacing

While I love the houndstooth and log cabin patterns above, I find the cloth to be less sturdy than I'd like. So I tried the same threading for the houndstooth with a 2-2 interlacing, and then a variation on the log cabin pattern with 2-2 interlacing. At other times I warp some yarn on the frame and see how the patterns develop.

3-3 Interlacing

The cloth produced by 3-3 interlacing is thick and dense, unlike most sprang fabric. This makes it ideal for belts and heavy scarves.

Interlinking with Interlacing

Since interlacing moves threads sideways and interlinking moves threads vertically, alternating rows of interlinking and interlacing on colored warps can create a wide range of patterns.
The 2-2 interlaced stitch is the same width as the interlinked stitch, so was used in these experiments.
