Notes on the tapestry loom data:
The total time difference between Group’s 1 and 3, can likely be accounted to differing thread thickness. Group 3 had to switch to a different thread halfway through their attempt, as they ran out of the first one. The new thread was homemade from week 4’s lab— this thread’s thickness was very inconsistent, meaning it can help explain some of the variance in weft count/ cm between groups 1 & 2 in comparison to group 3.
| Tapestry Loom Recordings: | *Across all rounds (1&2) | *Across all rounds | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Round 1: | Warp threads/ cm | Weft threads/ cm | Avg time for one pick across both rounds (m:s.ms) | Avg time for 1cm (m:s.ms)* | Avg time to weave 10cm (hrs:m:s)* | Estimated total time consumption for full piece, ~ 43 x 59.69 cm (hrs:m:s) |
| G1 | 3 | 4 | 02:32.24 | 12:09.28 | 2:01:36 | 12:04:44 |
| G 2 | 3 | 4.29 | 01:54.73 | 07:14.59 | 7:07:43 | 7:07:43 |
| G3 | 4 (likely due to higher tension) | 3.33 | 02:23.08 | 07:55.6 | 7:42:29 | 7:54:01 |
| Round 2: | New thread (homemade from spinning lab) | Avg time change across rounds 1 & 2 | ||||
| G1 | 3 | 7.5** | Time decreased/ improved by 31.42% | |||
| G2 | 3 | 3.75 | Time decreased/ improved by 22.53% |
**Homemade thread was much thinner this round
Notes for tablet weaving:
Amount of time it took to set up (hrs:m:s): 00:37:11
Student 1 wove 44.45 cm by the end of class
Efficiency improved drastically: This student improved their 10 pick time from 6:30.28, to 1:48.66 by the end of class. This is a 72.15% decrease in the time it takes to 10 picks.
| Belt Weaving Recordings: | *across all rounds | *across all rounds | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Weaver: | Set up time (h:m:s) | Warp threads/ cm | Weft threads/ cm | Avg time for one pick across all rounds (m:s.ms) | Avg time to weave 10 picks— roughly 3cm (hrs:m:s)* | Avg time to weave 10cm (m:s:ms)* | Estimated total time consumption for full band, ~ 2.5cm x 147 cm (hrs:m:s) |
| Student 1 | 0:37:11 | 6 | 3.3 | 1:16.66 | 4:15.53 | 13:40.64 | 17:24:00** |
**This time was calculated using the average time to weave 10 picks across all rounds. If we recalculated this estimate solely using Student 1’s 10 pick time from their last time trial, we’d likely see a significant decrease in the estimated total time
