FULL CROSS LENO.
FIG. 143.
A full cross may be made by taking the doup completely round the standard end, as in [Fig. 143], and alternately lifting the doup and the other end. This is a much more difficult weave than ordinary leno, and is not much used, although it gives a very pleasing effect when woven with thick yarns. The weave repeats on two picks as in gauze, but it is necessary to use very strong twist in order to bear the strain and friction unavoidable in this crossing.
