An article from the Multiple-Harness Weaver series by Harriet Tidball on braided twills, patterned twills with a double-diagonal design in which no float exceeds three threads. It gives drafts, tie-ups, treadling orders and weaving directions for braided twills on four, six, seven and eight harnesses, with sinking-shed and rising-shed tie-ups. It also advises on yarns and warp set. Most pages are weaving diagrams, and the last page shows a woven sample in red-orange and yellow-green.
