A short article from Master Weaver describing a pattern weave based on 1:2 twill on four shafts, which gives large blocks like crackle or summer and winter but with shorter floats and no tabby binder. It lists eight threading units (going up and going down) with incidentals between blocks, shows how to convert a block profile into a threading draft, and includes a draft with its drawdown. It then gives five treadling applications: overlapping-block pattern weave, half-tone pattern, woven-as-drawn-in, a four-colour bound weave for rugs, and texture weaves. The author notes that no reference to this technique could be found in the weaving literature.
