Extended-play vinyl record. An extended play (EP) is a musical recording that contains more tracks than a single, but is usually unqualified as an album or LP. EPs generally do not contain as many tracks as albums, and are considered less expensive and time-consuming for an artist to produce than an album.
Inkle weaving. Inkle weaving is a type of warp-faced weaving where the shed is created by manually raising or lowering the warp yarns, some of which are held in place by fixed heddles on a loom known as an inkle loom. Inkle weaving was referred to in Shakespeare's Love's Labour's Lost.
Ikat fabrics are made by dying the threads before the fabric is woven. The threads (typically natural fibers such as cotton or linen) are tied tightly together and dipped into dye. This creates an uneven, mottled appearance on the threads, allowing the pattern to have a âhazyâ look when the fabric is woven.he method is similar to tie-dying, except tie-dying is done after the fabric is woven. Either the warp threads (those on the loom) or the weft threads (those woven through the warp) or both can be dyed. Today, ikat fabrics are easy to find. They have been made into pillows, bedding, draperies and more.
