These are threaded in 8-block crackle. The treadling uses 24 different sequences (blocks). The warp colors are six very pure and intense hues, while the weft colors are muted shades of burgundy, slate, rose, and so on. I was just using up a bunch of lopi that I had on hand, so there were some 15 different shades to play with. From a 14-yard warp I got 6 throws.
Wonderful colours!
Just beautiful! When I grow up I want to learn to weave like you or at least use up my stash trying.

Thanks a bunch you two!
Claudia, I aspire to have your patience and perseverance! The weaving world is a better place thanks to the time and effort you have put into making this site what it is. Do you ever sleep? Or do you have a clone? All kidding aside, your kind and helpful presence has played a huge role in bringing us together here -- THANK YOU.
Bonnie.
ohhhhhhh!!! I love the colors!!
The weave structure is responsible for the color mixes. Each block in the threading is two colors, alternating. Then the 24 different treadling sequences use two colors each as well. (There is also a much thinner binder weft, so the weave requires 3 shuttles in all.)
I call this 24-block crackle because I derived the threading and treadling sequences after studying Zielinski's crackle book. Here is a more subtle piece, that has just two colors in the warp (alternating), and just two colors in the weft. The blending acheived by the structure produces 24 different combinations that sprinkle here-and-there on the fabric.
Your throws are beautiful, especially the last one, in some of my favorite colors.
Beautiful! I love seeing different projects on Weavolution's home page. And I'm glad it's not just the new ones so I can see that ones that are a few months old too.
I'm a beginning weaver, and you inspire me!
WOW!! I had to really study this out to understand what you did!! ..... (still trying to wrap my brain around this as I am such a newbie.... but I think I get it.) As Pooh says, "think, think, think".
These throws are beautiful. Like the others, I'm inspired by them. The colors are awesome.
