Cotton Weaving and Designing / 6th Edition

FIG. 290.

A good cord up the piece may be made by taking six or eight ends of six-end satin and two plain ends. [Fig. 291] is a pattern of this kind. The six-end satin is used because the plain ends would make wrong bindings with a five-end satin and the ends would slip. This principle of making cords is very useful, as the effect being produced from the warp, the cost is less than if produced from the weft.
