It would be interesting to compare this to card weaving (tablet weaving outside the US). Very cool to think about all the patterns that are easier to do with something like this.

If you have any interest in weaving give card weaving a shot!

Afaik tablet weaving doesn't really scale, neither in the complexity of the pattern nor in the width of the fabric. Also tablet weaving is fully manual process, whereas the key feature of jacquards is automation.
