From the Homespun movement of the Revolutionary War to the abolitionist boycotts of cotton produced by enslaved labor, American textiles have always carried a rich history of resistance.
"Resistance is American" is a Name Draft available for 8-shaft (Broken Twill), 4-shaft (Lace) and Rigid Heddle (Color-and-Weave) looms. We've also included the threading and treadling profiles in case you'd like to create your own designs with different block substitutions.
Our hope is that you’ll weave this draft in community, alongside guild members, neighbors, friends, or loved ones, and continue the long tradition of craft as a form of care, connection, and dissent.
Please note these drafts are designed to inspire a weave-your-own-adventure, using any yarn of your choice, in your desired sett for whatever type of project you wish to weave. These are drafts only, not complete patterns for finished items.
Files include PDFs and WIFs for all three loom types. Be sure to select the file(s) for your particular loom.
Thank you so much for sharing the "Resistance is American" drafts as an opportunity to vent. I wove two scarves using the 8 shaft broken twill patten with 8/2 tencel at 24 epi for myself and a friend. Thanks again. I am also a fan of your wool array yarns for small tapestries.
Was able to adapt the resistance draft to use some tencel my friend dyed for me for a different project. Turned out marvelous!
I haven’t woven this yet but am looking forward to it.
This is a wonderful project. I plan to make a graduation gift for my grandson. We love the concepts of peaceful resistance and hidden messages!
