Dictating and Translating Practice: Plain weaving(00:00-01:06)
Let me show you how to create a plain weaving, also known as tabby weaving. We start with that loom already wrapped. These vertical threads are called warp threads. Starting from the left hand side of the wrap insert a flat stick known as a shed stick or weaving sword between each warp thread. Alternative so the one warp sits on top of the shed stick, and the other one sits behind the shed stick. Twisting the shed stick will put every alternate warp thread either to the bank of the front, creating what is known as “open shed”. For our first row of plain weaving we are going to open the shed with the shed stick as shown here. I have pre-yarned some weft yarn onto this small stick shuttle. The weft is the yarn that travels horizontally over and under the warp thread. Starting from the right edge, pass shuttle through the shed opening, and pull straight to the left edge.

讓我來示範怎麼做平織，又稱作平紋編織。我們從事先經紗的織布機開始。這些垂直的線稱作「經線」，先從左手邊在每一條經線間插入一個叫作「綜絖板」的平板。讓這個板子前後相間。轉動綜絖板，便會在前後製造出「梭口」。
第一排的平織我們將會打該梭口，如(影片)所展示。我拿著事先緯紗的這枝小梭子，緯紗是水平移動並且在經紗之下。從右邊開始，經過梭口，接著從左邊拉出來。
