Part II of Paul O'Connor's series on drafting for weft-faced weaving, covering three-harness weaves. It explains a diamond-grid method for anticipating patterns in straight-draw twill and shows how two- and three-color weft arrangements (AB, A2B, A3B3, ABC and others) change the look of the fabric. A second section treats point twill threading, or Krokbragd, with its three-treadle sequence, color rotations, and the different design on the back of the fabric. Illustrated with drawdowns, a draft, and photographs of the front and back of a sample.
