A PDF article,  Vietnamese Tay Dam loom, provided to the Complex Weavers for publication in their June 2013 Complex Weavers Journal.

These movies provide visual guidance to the above PDF,  I think a movie is so valuable.  Please read the article and then watch the movies.

This video shows the Transient Sticks in use by the weaver….Transient Sticks in Use with weaving sword

This video shows the relationship of the warp, the weaver and the pattern storage device combine to allow the weaver to use the pick up stored again and again.  How the Pattern Sticks allow the Transient Sticks to be place in the warp

And this is a link to how I’ve put this pattern storage on my loom, this process is still underway…I will share more when I get back to it!
