Scottish Pattern Twills
Murphy. John · Master Weaver, February 1952
Article · 3 pages · weaving drafts
An adaptation of John Murphy's 1833 "Lined Work" presenting Scottish pattern twills (fancy, diamond or lined-work twills) as threading, tie-up and treadling drafts, with no draw-downs. The introduction compares British and Scandinavian traditions and explains weaving the twills plain or with tabby binder, including doubling the point when treadling changes direction. Thirty-one drafts follow, for 5 to 16 shafts, mostly 8 or more.
