A short article from Master Weaver (No. 36, November 1957) on treadling higher-order twills in "rose-fashion" (turned) order, a sequel to an earlier article on high twills. It explains how reversing the basic treadling gives symmetrical variations for 4-, 6-, 8-, 12- and 16-shaft twills, and how many variations and distinct twills each shaft count allows, with treadling sequences and drawdown figures. It ends with guidance on designing such twills (tie-up first, conservative threading, treadling from the threading) and a practical project for a linen tablecloth in 5:1:1:1 twill with warp, sett, reed and weft details.
