An article from Master Weaver on turned twills woven by the two-harness method, which combines a ground harness with pattern frames. It defines dimity, dornick, diaper and damask and tabulates the frames and treadles each needs on single-harness and two-harness looms. It then discusses drafting the tie-up so that pattern blocks are cut cleanly, using figures of drawdowns and a 5-block damask profile. A short section on weaving terminology (counter-marche, sinking and rising sheds) follows.
