Card Weavers' Patterns: Kivrim Motif


 

The cover of Peter Collingwood's "The Techniques of Tablet Weaving" features the pattern of a Kivrim. This type of patterns is found on Anatolian belts. The technique is explained on page 112.


This multicolor Kivrim was woven by Patty Townsend. Notice the interesting variation that she accomplishes by using a different offset. Click on the picture to enlarge.
