Notes
I have loved the before and after photos of a fulled 2/2 twill sample in Ann Sutton's book, The Structure of Weaving for a long time. I decided to use Henry's attic "Texas" to do a version of my own. I changed it to a point twill with plain weave selvedges. I observed the first few inches and because the twill was beaten so loosely the plain weave selvedges seemed to be just the right ppi. Oops. everything looked great until I fulled it to make the very loose structure stable. The plain weave ruffled right up (as a more thoughtful/experienced/thorough sampler type person might have known). Anyway, I hemmed the selvedges to minimize the ruffle effect and the twill area is a very soft, warm, supple fabric. Live and learn (or not).
