A short article from Master Weaver describing a method of producing an irregular, textured (3D) fabric surface by alternating two twill threadings, at least one of them broken, in a single draft. It gives example threadings and two draw-downs with different treadlings, and explains how mixed warp colors or yarns, with a warping repeat that does not divide evenly into the threading repeat, lengthen the effective texture repeat. It includes a table of recommended threading and warping repeat combinations and a practical project for a mercerized cotton upholstery fabric with warp colors, sett, threading and treadling.
