Twill Practice
Last night I was going to weave a bunch more of the pretty purple
and orange star and diamond inkle, but I kept making mistakes and
having to pick out bits, so I decided to see what mischief I could get
into with the big loom.
So,
three twills with the treadling pattern that gives me diamonds in the
red warp (and some in the orange warp, too). First section is 2:2,
second is 3:1, and last is 1:3. No, there's no real reason I didn't do
them in order. The 3:1 with that super shimmery silk is fun, though; it
gleams through even when it's underneath warp threads.
And
then I decided to try something fun. 1:3 twill, with a sort of
chattering treadling pattern (1, 1-2, 1-2-3, 1-2-3-4, 3-2-1, 2-1, 1-2,
1-2-3, 1-2-3-4, 3-2-1, 2-1). I'm intrigued, although I think if I try a
similar pattern again I'll skip the repeated rows to avoid the doubled
weft.
