Cotton Weaving and Designing / 6th Edition

FIG. 227.

When two weaves which consist of different arrangements of the same ends are combined in stripe form, the same shafts will do for both weaves. [Fig. 225] illustrates this principle. In the design there are sixteen ends of an eight-end twill, “2 up 2 down, 1 up 1 down, 1 up 1 down,” and sixteen ends of a mixed effect, which is simply a re-arrangement of the ends of the twill. Each of the ends in the crape or mixed weave can be drawn through the same stave as one of the ends in the twill, as will be seen from the draft ([Fig. 226]) given with this design, and thus the whole design can be woven with eight staves. If the staves are lifted to form the twill with the first sixteen ends, the different order of drawing the ends in the second part of the draft causes the desired change in the pattern. The pegging or lifting plan ([Fig. 227]) will therefore be the first eight ends of the twill.
