Turn Draft

Rotate a Draft 90 degrees

Turning the draft swaps the threading and treadling, which can be useful when wanting to do a single shuttle weave when alternating colors are in the warp, or at times when a draft has more shafts than treadles, and by turning the weaver will require fewer shafts.

After Turn Draft

After turning the draft, the treadling becomes the threading (the pick becomes a threading on shaft 1, second pick on shaft 2, etc.). The threading becomes the treadling (shaft 1 to treadle 1, shaft 2 to treadle 2, etc.). The face of the tie-up is changed, and the bottom row of the tie-up becomes the first treadle (although with a change face), etc.

If the draft is turned again, it goes back to the original draft in the first picture.

Here is the WIF to try this for yourself in TempoWeave:
