Wall of Troy is a nice threading that combines straight and point twills. You can weave this threading with 4-shaft treadlings used with either straight or point threadings- there are hundreds of options and you can create new designs, too.

What is your warp yarn?

I do not really know as it is 'gifted' / freecycled yarn.  I did a burn test and it is not wool or cotton, it feels limber like tencel and slick like nylon. It is small 2ply and the dark tan (weft) is slightly larger than the white (warp).

That looks awesome! Where could I find that pattern draft, so that I can give it a go myself?

That draft is very common and easy to find. kirstenfroberg has a project posted about twills and in her last graphic is the same draft.

Wall of Troy is in Marguerite Davison's book, which was my first weaving book.

Notes

Started warping this yesterday just to weave something I have not done yet. I put 10 yards of warp on (140 ends) and thought I would try to do 2 or 3 different patterns with the same fiber.

Completed the weave, cut off the loom, hand sewed the ends to prevent unraveling, handwashed and dryed in clothes dryer.
