Weaving has commenced on my dishtowels. The warp sections are threaded (from the left):

You can see the threading patterns here.

| First is a twill and reverse treadling order. (II 14 A to II 17 D) |
 |
| Second section is a broken twill treadling. (II 93 A to II 96 D) |
 |
| Another twill and reverse, repeating twice before changing direction. (II 24 A to II 27 D) |
I'm having a little trouble with the tension (I always did, warping front-to-back). I wonder if it's because I didn't use a 2-stick header, having used all my sticks as warp separators.
I've woven about ten inches so far and am still working out the squares. After wet finishing my sampler, I had more shrinkage warp-wise, so I'm making the squares just a tad taller than their width. Hopefully, that's the right decision.

This is super fascinating Leigh (and also something I know zero about). Thanks for posting!
TB, thank you for reading and commenting! Weaving is wonderfully analytical, mathematical, and intellectually stimulating. And all with an aesthetic reward!
