The drive band on the double drive wheel is made of non-stretch twine or yarn. Sometimes, candlewick can be used. The Single Drive The single-drive wheel includes the drive band going around the flyer and brake on the bobbin. A lot of the drive bands for this type of wheel is created from synthetic cord. Twining and braiding methods also helped the early human beings make mats that cover the floors of ancient homes that ultimately keep them warm against the harsh cold outside. Exterior coverings of ancient shelters were also created via weaving methods, so humans stayed safe from harsh weather and wild animals because of weaving techniques. Making Yarn Fiber converts into yarn by twisting motion. Fully untwisted fiber will pull apart quickly. Twisted fiber or yarn is very strong and does not easily pull apart. The twist stems from the spindle and the conversion happens between the hands. Drafting is done to let the fibers slide past one another and then allowing the twist to catch. In only a short span of time, woven bamboo items regained its popularity. Weaving techniques There were already many techniques for weaving back then. They were merely developed and enhanced by the old-fashioned and modern craftsmen so that they could come up with products that had beautiful finishes and made from very elaborate techniques. You should feel very confident and comfortable in your spinning position as you work. The treadle should be quiet, and the bobbins easy to manage. You can upgrade some types of spinning wheels as you progress in your work and skills. You can also purchase a whorl or fast flyer for high speed spinning. Slowly weave the yarn across the strings found at the base. Weave the yarn over and under the base strings evenly. The weave becomes uneven or may even present holes if you do not weave properly or make mistakes. Once you get to the opposite end of the base, loop the string over to the side then weave again to the side where you started.
