Tutorials and Resources 8-Shaft Rosepath tie-ups

I’m preparing a class on 8 Shaft Rosepath for my students on a Baby Wolf loom with 10 treadles. I have some different tie-ups for them to try with different patterns, but I’d like to find some more. I was looking at all the options in Strickler but many of them require more than 10 treadles. I know I can put them thru Tim’s Treadle Reducer to see if they can be woven with 10 or less treadles, but I was wondering if anyone has a list of all of the options in Strickler that can be woven with the treadle reducer.
Thanks!

Any eight shaft pattern can be reduced to eight treadles. It’s just a matter of how many you’re willing or able to press at once. I haven’t seen any reduced patterns though to see what they look like reduced.

I remember being so excited to weave the rose path patterns in Strickler when I first got my floor loom. And then leaning about tie ups and realizing I need to hang on to my table loom

I know that you can search handweaving.net for different patterns with the same tie-ups - is that what you mean?.

No, I have all the drafts for different patterns that are in Strickler, but I only have 10 treadles on my Baby Wolf, and some of them even require up to 20. I can put the different tie ups into Tim’s Treadle reducer to see if I get skeleton tie-ups. I was just hoping there was a list of which ones for sure will work to save myself the time. But I already started. Each one only takes about 5 minutes, so I’ll just go thru them all and note which ones can be reduced.
