Abstract

Abel Iloko is a loom woven cloth made by local weavers of the Ilocos region in the Philippines. Paoay is one of the few municipalities in the province of Ilocos Norte who still practice the weaving tradition. Commercialization, globalization and tourism development in the region have contributed to the demands in production which include variety in patterns and innovative designs. The research aimed to develop new patterns and designs for the local weaving industry in Paoay, Ilocos Norte in collaboration with the Nagbacalan Loomweavers Multi-Purpose Cooperative. New patterns were generated using a mathematical algorithm involving square matrices and a computer application developed for pattern generation. The nets formed by matrices were superposed to create pleasing designs and translated to weaving drafts. The study was able to generate more than 20 new patterns which can be used to weave pick-up designs.
