Huck lace 'boxes' with plain weave
Swedish Lace
Many people find lace weaves confusing, not least because there are so many different ways to write the threading/treadling draft. When the sequence looks so very different, people can get confused about what is the 'right' way.
Well, the 'right' way is which ever sequence - threading, tie up, treadling - that will give you Huck (or Swedish, which is a derivative of Huck) interlacements.
Lace weaves consist of floats on a plain weave foundation. You can have warp floats, weft floats or warp/weft floats.
Bronson Lace differs from Huck/Swedish in that the foundation threads are only on one shaft with a tie down on a second shaft. In Huck there are two shafts for the foundation threads and no tie down. Swedish Lace has two shafts for foundation and a tie down where a unit is repeated.
Confused yet?
Can I recommend my webinar to help bring some light to the subject? I tried searching for the webinar on their website but nothing came up so hopefully this link will work for anyone interested.

Hi Laura
Has this webinar already happened, or it it upcoming?
Apparently it has been pulled off the site. It was my understanding that it would be available as a 'recorded' presentation, but perhaps no one was signing up for it and it's gone now. :(
