Although I wove samples from these Oelsner categories: breaks, crepe, deflection, diversified, honeycomb and huck, the crepe weaves best provided the subtle textures I wanted. I turned to Oelsner’s A Handbook of Weaves as a source of textured weaves and to as a source of Oelsner's weave drafts in WIF format. My eyes hungered for more visual interest that was provided by the rather coarse tabby I was producing. After weaving sample blankets of tabby triple weave structures for 3, 4 and 5 wefts, I realized I didn’t find these weaves particularly appealing with this warp. Recently, I put a cyan, magenta and yellow 10/2 cotton warp set at 64.5 epi on my TC-1 loom with the idea of using it for triple weave. This article describes some triple weave structures that were created to solve particular design challenges. Weaving on a Jacquard-type handloom has led me to design weave structures intended for use in a single piece of weaving.
