Reading the Draft for the Table Runner

Pattern drafts are made of four parts:
1.  Threading draft
2. Shafts
3. Liftings
4. Drawdown

1. Threading Draft

This shows the order in which the warp is threaded through the heddle 
eyes. Threading drafts are read from right to left. For this project, the 
first warp thread will be threaded through the heddle on shaft one. Two 
pattern repeats are shown. The bracket below shows how many times 
to repeat each section.

2. Shafts 

Show which shaft to use when threading and lifting.

3. Liftings

This is the order the shafts will be lifted for each weft pick. For this 

project the first shafts lifted are 1, 3, 5 and 7 by pushing levers 1, 3, 5 

and 7 down. Note - lever 1 is on the left and lifts shaft 1, the front shaft.

4. Drawdown
