Cotton Weaving and Designing / 6th Edition

by John T. Taylor

FIG. 388.

In addition to simple satin and twill weaves, Figs. [386] and [387] can be used in conjunction, the figure being woven to either pattern. [Fig. 388] will show that the two weaves do not interfere with each other—that is, an end is never required to be lifted and left down at the same time.

Figs. [389] and [390] can be used together, one forming the figure and the other the ground.

The best way of compiling weaves to give variety to pressure harness fabrics is to put the satin clots on paper first, and then to arrange a pattern to fit in the empty squares.
