Excerpt from TapestryThe number of threads of the warp to be included in a shoot or a course depends upon the shades: m a plain horizontal part the shoots are made as long as possible, to accelerate the work, but it often happens that a shoot only takes in two or three threads of the warp. The outlines of the drawing to be repro duced, and the} greater or less extent of the half tints, indicate the length of the courses, as well as the number of them to be ranged one above the other. In order to avoid the appearance of mosaic, which would inevitably result from the simple juxtaposition of the colours, the workman passes from one colour to another by shades which partake of both, and which are graduated like hatching. The right treatment of these stipples forms one of the greatest difficulties of the work, and the practised eye of the workman can alone determine where to begin or finish a shade.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
