What a beautiful piece of work!!! I've been perusing the drafts and it seems that most of the ones I like best are created by you. Looks like my 16 shaft needs an upgrade. Keep up the great work.

With the little dot, this draft requires 9 shafts and 9 treadles. Without the dot, it can be done on 8 shafts and 8 treadles. Interesting use of colors!

How beautiful. Makes me want to paint some warp and plan other patterns, maybe a nice twill mixture of patterns in the warp. Not just beautiful, but inspiringly beautiful. Thank you for sharing.

This is lovely you have a nice use of color.    I tried down loading the wif file but couldn't get it to open properly.  Do you have any suggestions?

If you take a shadow weave draft, preferably without the incidentals, sett closely, and alternate thick and thin wefts, this is called warp rep. You can see the effect nicely in weaving software that has a warp-faced view and allows thread thickness. If you didn't sett more closely, it would still be a kind of warp rep but not as strong a design.

Instead of starting with an overshot draft, this method makes clear designs if you begin with a profile draft. You can make your design as large or small as you like. Start with any profile design having 4 blocks for a 4-shaft loom or 6 blocks for a 6-shaft loom, etc. Give it a parallel threading, alternate dark and light warp threads and use an opposites tie-up. You may weave as drawn in, or use any profile treadling you like, parallel treadling, two colors.

This will be shadow weave if your sett = ppi and all yarns are the same thickness. It will be warp rep with a closer sett and thick/thin weft.

Starting with an overshot draft makes the design more scattered- the requirements for overshot threading go beyond those needed for profile drafts or for shadow weave or rep. It is OK if you want the more delicate, less clear look where the design goes back and forth.
