This was an experiment in using the 3-color pickup technique to create a random pattern. I liked the results and oh, was it fun to weave! I have now written a tutorial describing how to do the te...

So far, one type of pickup stands out as my favorite way to create fancy patterns. It is most commonly know these days as "Baltic-Style" pickup. I learned it back in the 1970's from Helene Bress' book, Inkle Weaving. She refers to it as "Basketweave Background". Evelyn Neher in her book, Inkle, calls it "Speckled" the term which I have adopted and used over the years. It is also sometimes called, supplementary warp technique, European, Latvian, Scandinavian or Sami pickup. So many names…

♥ ♥ Greetings fellow fibre junkies! ♥ ♥ First I thought I'd play around with supplemental weft. In the following two bands I have two wefts (horizontal) threads on separate shuttles: one finer and one that has 3 or more threads. I open the shed normally and throw through the fine weft, the, holding the same shed open drop selected warp threads, and shoot the thicker weft through. This allows that weft to pop up to the surface and create a pattern I couldn't make with a basic threading alone…

I thought I had a global view of the culture and practice of weaving. Then a discovery revealed my unwitting Eurocentrism.

In this book for experienced bandweavers, author Annie MacHale introduces you to 3-color pickup, a delightful variation on Baltic-style pickup. Unknown to most modern weavers, it is an older technique for which pattern books have not been readily available until now. To weave this variation, it's essential that you have a working knowledge of regular Baltic pickup.
