Dublin Dragons 4 hole
A four-threads-per-card version of the well-loved Dublin Dragons pattern. Original extant piece was done in brocade, so this is an adaptation of the original design using another period technique.
The patterns I create or find on Pinterest are pinned to my board here: www.pinterest.com/elewys/. I will also post it on my blog, which can be found at ladyelewys.carpevinumpdx.com/2023/10/06/dublin-dragons-4-hole/ and will be available after the video goes live.
In this video, I'm using 3-D printed cards that my husband made. They are 2 1/2" wide and about .7mm thick.
Schacht cards, which can be found at Yarn.com, thewoolery.com, Paradise Fibers or Schachtspindle.com. If you would like wooden cards, I have found some nice ones at www.etsy.com/shop/VytuVatu along with several other treasures for your weaving pleasures!

Tablet Weaving Pattern Generator (TDD):
* jamespbarrett.github.io/table...
* How to use TDD: www.youtube.com/watch?v=OmPy6... which will walk you through the many great features of this software.
Yarns:
* Jagger Spun wool/silk blend.
* Maysville Carpet Warp, which can be found at several different weaving supply places (I often use WEBS at www.yarn.com). It comes in more than 70 colors on an 800 yard spool for about $9, so it can be used in a number of projects and the price is very reasonable.
* Maurice Brassard 8/2 cotton, which I purchased at woolery.com. It comes in 81 different colors and is really lovely to work with.
* 20/2 or 60/2 silk from Eowyn de Weaver. Each cone is $30 and comes in 18 different colors. There are also small 100 yard spools that run $5 each and comes in more than 2 dozen colors. New web site! www.eowyndewever.com
* Pearl cotton, size 8 or size 10 (or even 12, if you love to work with fine stuff), which can be found is most craft stores in a bunch of colors.
Sewing:
* I use 100% linen from fabric-Store.com in the IL019 weight for my tunics. The quality of their linen is very good, their prices are very reasonable and shipping is fast! Use "ILOVELINEN" in the discount code for an additional 7% off!
Cards:
* 2 1/2" wide (63 mm) made on a 3D printer, a pattern designed by my husband. Free downloadable patterns of other tablets are available on Thingiverse (this one is not my pattern--we are still working the kinks out of the design but these cards are Oseberg reproductions: www.thingiverse.com/thing:1806753, though I find that they are a bit thicker than I prefer.) Also, 1 mm thick cards can be found at www.thingiverse.com/thing:673389, or thing:4043270.
* 3 1/4" cards from Schacht Spindle Company, which run $8 for 25 cards. I love these because they are colored on the edges and they are thin but very durable. Similar cards are made by Lacis but without the colored edges.

    I’m an advanced tablet weaver and I return to these easier patterns all of the time because they’re “audiobook” friendly and give such lovely “instant” gratification. Any time I do complex ones, especially skip-hole ones…. I can listen to music only but anything more would mess my focus up. Hope you are well!

    Hi! I'm new at this and have already woven a bit, but always with simple patterns that go back and forth with the card turning. This is my first complicated pattern attempt and I'm wondering, are the cards supposed to align when re-starting the pattern? would all cards align by row 16? Because mine aren't, but my pattern isn't coming along very neatly either so I'm not sure if it's supposed to happen and I made a mistake, or if my mistake is elsewhere. Thank you so much!

  • @leben54

    When I warp a band like the one you warp here, I thread through all cards at once, using as many balls of yarn as there are holes. So this band I would first use four black balls for the edge cards, thread each hole from one ball and tie them together at the four yarn ends. Then I go back and forth making the warp and let one card off on my forward and one on my back turn. Then I tread all the rest of the cards from two black and two pink balls and continue till I let all the cards off. Then I change places and turn the cards according to the pattern. NB: this can only be done if the card has two colours, otherwise the pattern would be wrong.

    Firstly, I adore you and your beautiful tablet weaving. Your tutorials are stellar and so enjoyable to watch. I do have a question about this solution which I am anxious to try. I'm wondering about just putting the swivels on during initial warping when you can anticipate that some threads always only go forward (like the border threads, for instance), thus causing twist to accumulate. It seems like it might be easier to place the swivels during the initial warping. Thank you!

    I am so grateful for this pattern. This is my second band to weave ever and what I love about this is every four counts. The card should be back to where they started so when I made a mistake and lost my account, I was able to rotate everybody and get them back in place. I’m assuming that like knitting there’s ways to learn to read your weave so when you get lost, you know where you are. I haven’t gotten there yet myself.
