I made
this warp
a little longer than the amount calculated to weave the project. I had in mind
to do a little end of warp sampling, so I could experiment with some of the
crackle manners of weaving.

Of course, twill treadlings are practically endless, so the possibilities are
practically endless as well. I think it would be more interesting if each
crackle block was threaded in a different color. But since it's the end of a
warp, it still gives me valuable information for when I try twill with tabby
treadlings.

looks like you've got the draw in under control.
Yes, finally! It seems to be something I had to re-learn.
This is great Leigh. I had no idea there were so many patterns. I getting more appreciation for the fiber arts.
TB, it's endlessly fascinating. Loom threading, how the threads are lifted to allow the weft to pass, size and texture of the yarns, and of course color. There's a whole category of weaving based on sort of the optical illusions created by color arrangement of yarn alone.
This winter I'm hoping to get back to spinning again too. That will add another dimension to my fascinating world of fiber arts.
It certainly makes me look at my clothing a lot differently now.
TB, it's a reminder of how much we take for granted when we only view the end product. Whether a loaf of bread, a brick of cheese, a cabinet, or a garment. Add to that how quickly and cheaply most things can be made thanks to mass manufacturing, and it's amazing that anyone would want to learn to do things by hand any more.
