BROOKS BOUQUET

Brooks bouquet is a hand-manipulation technique for wrap-

ping warp threads with weft. It can be done on a closed

shed (as in the Brooks bouquet sequence on this poncho) or

in an open shed (as in the single Brooks bouquet in the huck

lace sequence on this poncho). Using a small shuttle or net-

ting shuttle will make the process easier.

CLOSED SHED

1 Place the shuttle under the warp

threads you wish to wrap.

2 Pull the shuttle up and out of the

warp threads from underneath.

3 Insert the shuttle behind the

same threads you passed under in

steps 1 and 2. Draw the weft

thread through and pull snug. This

creates the bouquet.

4 Work across the row until you

reach the opposing edge. Open

the next shed of the treadling,

weave a pick, and beat.

OPEN SHED

1 With the shed open, pass the shuttle through the shed

and under the threads you want to wrap.

2 Pull the shuttle up and out of the shed through the top

of the warp.

3 Insert the shuttle behind the same threads you passed

under in step 1. Draw the weft through and pull snug.

4 Continue across the row in the same shed. Open the

next shed, weave a pick, and beat.
