Another useful draft ([Fig. 270]) as a basis for re-arrangement is the one employed in producing [Fig. 269] from [Fig. 268]. The order of the draft is shown along with the design; the order runs, 2 1, 3 2, 4 3, and so on, repeating on sixteen ends.

Some novel effects are obtained by re-arranging the ends of a sixteen-end twill in the order 1 4, 7 2, 5 8, 3 6, 9 12, 15 10, 13 16, 11 14. The effect of this system is shown at [Fig. 272], which is the result of re-arranging [Fig. 271] in the above order. The system is of course applicable to other twills than those on sixteen ends.
Twills combined to form Square Patterns.—Simple twills may be combined to form “square” patterns by taking alternate picks of each. If two eight-end twills are combined in this manner only four picks of each twill will be used in the combination. The principle will be understood from [Fig. 273].
This is a pattern composed of alternate picks of two ten-end twills making an effect repeating on ten ends and ten picks. The effect given by re-arranging this in satin order is shown at [Fig. 274].
