This is a nice design but it needs one more thread per repeat. What do you plan to weave with this draft? You could use this threading with lots of other treadlings.

You have 99 ends in each repeat in both warp and weft (woven as drawn in) but the total number needs to be a multiple of 4 in order to repeat while maintaining the underlying 4-shaft twill structure. Your sequence ends on shaft 3 and it needs to end on shaft 4 so it will be easy to fix. I am afraid that otherwise you will notice the break in the twill lines at end 99 and pick 99 and each repeat of these. I have woven a lot of network drafted twills.

One way to check this is to use a 1/3/1/3 tie-up and make sure that you have a consistent ground of 4-shaft twill. Try it on this draft.

Thanks you so much for the insight.  I already wove this and it is displayed in the "projects" section.  But of course I noticed the things you mentioned but didn't understand the concepts behind it.  Thanks so much for your imput.

hi Ann,

Now I see the scarf. Thanks for telling me. It looks very pretty, so you might want to weave another warp using network drafted twills sometime. For me, it was helpful to consider the 4-shaft twill as the consistent structure which I used to express my design. Then it made sense to avoid a tie-up lifting 4 adjacent shafts- I cannot weave a 4-shaft twill with all 4 shafts up (or down)!
