چکیده
This study investigates the feasibility of retrofitting a conventional 4-shaft broadloom into an 8-shaft system as a low-cost innovation for enabling complex woven structures in resource-constrained settings. Guided by a practice-based research design and the Double Diamond framework, the project employed WeavePoint software to construct and simulate weave drafts, followed by practical modifications of the loom to test huck-a-back and honeycomb structures. The results indicate that shaft conversion is feasible, producing fabrics that displayed stable interlacements, structurally consistent selvedges, and distinctive patterns under trial conditions. Beyond its technical outcomes, the retrofit represents an example of appropriate technology, reducing reliance on costly imports, prolonging equipment life, and promoting sustainable textile practices. The study further highlights its educational value by expanding opportunities for students and artisans to explore advanced weaves, thereby strengthening problem-solving skills and design innovation. These findings suggest that loom retrofitting can serve as a replicable strategy for weaving education and small-scale textile enterprises, while contributing to broader discussions on sustainability and grassroots innovation in textile design.
