An article from Master Weaver on dimity, a weave based on 1:2 twill, and how to adapt it to 3, 4 and 6 shafts. It gives drafts for dimity cord (ridges along the weft or warp) and for two-block pattern dimity on four shafts, with notes on take-up, float length and fabric strength. It also covers the history of 3-shaft looms and twill, and includes a table runner project in single linen with threading, warp, weft and treadling instructions. A short note on weaving terminology (harness vs. shaft) closes the piece.
