Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of weaving a multi-colored web (5,6,7) with various colored wrap threads (1,2,3,) and weft threads (4). According to the invention wrap threads having preferably three different colors, namely blue, red, and yellow, are used, in regular series adjacent to each other. One of these colors is emphasized locally by the corresponding admixture into the front side of the web, which is being woven, in order to strengthen the shade. By the corresponding admixture of two or more colors new shades are obtained. The invention also relates to a multi-colored web (5,6,7), produced according to this method as well as to a wrap thread arrangement (1,2,3), used in or for the method and web respectively.

Abstract: A yarn package used to thread up a hand loom comprises an elongated support 41, such as a cardboard tube, on which a full complement of warp threads 27 are wound. At their inner ends, the threads are secured to the support by an adhesive strip 43 extending along the length of the support and spaced about 15 cm from the free ends of the warp threads. The inner ends of the warp threads are held down against the support by a safety tape 43a. The outer ends of the warp threads 27 are secured together in side-by-side relation by a self-adhesive tape 45 extending lengthwise of the support. The tape is releasably held on the underlying convolutions of the warp threads by tabs 46. The tape 45 is used to anchor the warp threads 27 on the warp beam of a hand loom.In use, the tape 25 is transferred to the warp beam and the warp threads 27 are wound onto the beam from the package.
