Weaving Welsh tapestry

Weaving Welsh tapestry.
I'm interested in what they call Welsh tapestry, which in fact is doubleweave.
There's not much on the web, so I searched my weaving books. In "Weaving with foot-power looms" , Edward F Worst (first edition 1918, reprinted in the '70), there are several drafts that very much look like Welsh tapestry; Are they? If yes, what is all this double harness method about? Help!!


Welsh tapestry?



Welsh tapestry draft?

  1. You'll need 14 harnesses to weave this draft, 10 for the pattern and 4 for tabby. I've only got 8 :))

  3. This is Swedish opphamta technique. Very different from Welsh tapestry. Welsh tapestry is double weave.
