An article from the Master Weaver (Fulford, Quebec) explaining polychrome double weave on eight shafts, where colour blocks are independent of the structural double-weave layers. It presents a key table of eight threading blocks and eight treadling units in black, white and grey, then gives threading and treadling sequences for six sample patterns (Figs. 4-9) and explains how to extend the method to more colours. It closes with a practical project for place mats in 8/2 cotton, with a threading draft, a 32-sample colour sampler scheme and a suggested treadling.
