                PROCEDURE

                TASK 1: Prepare design for wool fabric

                1  Take graph paper.                                  9  Prepare the warp threads according to the graph’s
                2  Mark vertical lines as warp threads.                 color sequence and density.
                                                                      10 Then Wind the warp onto the warp beam in the exact
                3  Then mark horizontal lines as weft threads.
                                                                        order indicated in the design.
                4  Make a geometrical design on the graph paper and   11 Thread each warp thread through the heddles on the
                   keep the motif simple.
                                                                        shafts based on the lifting plan in the graph design.
                5  Use color pencils to fill the design.(each  square   12 Use the graph to guide which warp threads should
                   represents intersection of warp and weft threads).
                                                                        lift or stay down for each weft pass.
                6  Write thread color sequence of warp on the graph
                   paper. (e.g red color = warp thread color A.)      13 Choose weft  threads (color,  texture)  as  per the
                                                                        graph’s plan.
                7  Then write the weft color sequence to complement   14 Follow the graph design row by row.
                   the warp.
                8  Use “X” symbol to mark which warp threads are lifted   15 Lift the warp threads and pass the shuttle with the
                                                                        weft thread as per the design.
                   for each weft pass.
                                                                      16 Repeat patterns as indicated on the graph.

                TASK 2: Prepare design for cotton fabric
                                          Refer TASK 1 follow the steps for given cotton fabric

                TASK 3: Prepare design for silk fabric
                                            Refer TASK 1 follow the steps for given silk fabric

                                                                                                                    59
