The invention provides a tujia brocade weaving method. The tujia brocade weaving method includes the following steps: (1)
machine boarding, wherein first an operator ties a band to the
buttocks, thenholds tools with hands, steps on
tread sticks and starts a
machine for brocade weaving; (2) weaving of a cloth head, wherein, first a section of plain cloth is woven to be placed on a winding warp beam so as to felicitate winding up of brocade, and a
diagonal weaving method is used for weaving of the cloth head; (3) brocade weaving, wherein a through-warp broken-weft reverse side manual picking weaving method is adopted, and the process flow successively includes
insertion and picking, drawing of
colored threads, feeding of the
colored threads, picking of the
colored threads, shuttling back and forth and feeding of invisible weft, shuttling return and feeding of visible weft, shuttle receiving, and beating; (4) getting off from the
machine, wherein first the band is untied, a rolling rod is placed on a rack, a shuttle is made to penetrate the warp, a thread head is
cut off, and unwoven thread materials are placed on the rack, and the tools are packed into a basket. By adopting the
diagonal weaving method in combination with the through-warp broken-weft reverse side picking weaving method, the tujia brocade weaving method can overcome the defect of complicated processes of an existing technology, the production efficiency is improved, the weaving cost is reduced, the overall process is simple, the operation is simple, and the weaving process is exquisite; the tujia brocade weaving method can be widely used in cooperation with manual
spinning.
