Same with weaving, especially the way symmetry is weft in.

Jaccard looms are too general, too unconstrained. I like shaft looms more gratifying. Their restrictions make it more interesting.

Then I have to advertise the work of my father: https://oliviermasson.art/en/4-publications
Oh WOW.

It is from some summary of your dad's book that I had understood how shaft looms work.

Such beautiful weaves and such a small world. Happy meeting you here.

A reissue of your dad's book would be wonderful.

My dad and my brother are both working on textile industry. There is a world on engineering a fabric, with mathematical algorithms and calculations.
