Complex Weavers Study Groups
- Complex Weavers Sixteens Study Group
- October 2018 - Diversified Plain Weave
- My 2018 Sample:
- Research:
- Claudia Spalding obtained Diversified Plain Weave (Paperback, 1972, 32 pages) by Klara Cherepov - Long Out of Print - the author died in 1992 and an unsuccessful atempt was made to locate her descendants.
A scan is posted here under the 'fair use' policy.
Fair use is explained:
https://www.lib.uchicago.edu/copyrightinfo/fairuse.html
Advice Received: This group is not going to make money from it and the distribution is limited to Sixteens.
And we would buy it, if it was still available.
We are not going to reproduce parts of the document in a new publication.
A archivist friend once told me that one should try hard to find the copyright holder, but if we had done 'due diligence' we could us the material.

- October 2017 - Echo
- My 2017 Sample (based upon Eva Stossel's original draft):
- Research:
- Helene Bress: The Weaving Book states Echo "seems to have originated in a newsletter put out by Bertha Needham in the 1930's". From Bress, Echo can be in the threading or treadling.
