For dobby patterns it is necessary to keep the number of shafts as low as possible, and cords requiring only two shafts above the plain are made as in Figs. [292] and [293]. [Fig. 294] gives a cord across the piece, and is of rather a firmer character than an ordinary four and four cord. [Fig. 295] shows a useful principle of making cords across the piece. Two picks are taken together, and three double picks from a cord. The three plain picks serve to define the cord. A better effect is obtained from [Fig. 296], in which the double picks have a float of five ends. This cord is very suitable for stripes, as it combines extremely well with warp satin.
