A two-page Swatch Page from Minnesota Weaver explaining twill skip, a supplementary-weft brocade technique used on Guatemalan huipiles and named by Mary Atwater. It gives instructions for weaving twill skip blocks on rigid heddle, four-harness and six-harness looms, with threading, tie-up and weaving sequences. It also covers diagonal skip weave motifs, which are picked up by hand and not loom controlled.
