OVERVIEW / A WAY IN

Pattern organised through structure and loom setup.

This volume follows repeated structures built through more complex loom patterning: named eyes and seeds, curving forms, wedding characters and relief surfaces.

How does the loom organise repeated structure and named geometric forms?

FIELD NOTE

From ground weave to figured repeat

从地组织到花组织

A figured surface is not simply a more colourful plaid; the loom must organise a repeat beyond the quiet ground.

Field notes & catalogue basis

How does the loom organise repeated structure and named geometric forms?

This volume follows repeated structures built through more complex loom patterning: named eyes and seeds, curving forms, wedding characters and relief surfaces.

Figured, treadle-figured, double-sided and waffle/honeycomb records remain distinct. Pattern names are attached only where naming evidence exists.

This v3 book is an editorial research route. Object-level technique, dating and provenance remain on each textile record; pattern-name provenance is stored separately in the Pattern Catalog.
