Notes
Original pattern used for Complex Weavers Lace Study Group exchange on canvas weave. I created a braided twill, then shaded the individual lozenges, split them apart, and added a zigzag of canvas on 32S straight draw. At the points of the zigzags the tie-up changes face (reverses front and back). This was woven on a computer-controlled dobby. It would take up to 64 treadles on a treadle loom. It is woven square, at 20 ppi. The details show best with a colored weft, but I chose to weave the runner in white on white. The ends of the runner zigzag, with a long straight diagonal section in the middle. The lace units open well at this sett without the twill being sleazy. The red sample is shown on the loom, the white runner after washing.
