Classic crackle with warp and both wefts (pattern & background) the same weight. |
The pattern is more subtle than the first sample, which used a heavier pattern yarn.
Classic crackle with a heavier pattern yarn. |
But it's still quite visible because the pattern yarn is thrown every other shot, making it 50% of the treadling sequence.
Pattern weft is dark green, background wefts are gold and mustard yellow. Warp is natural. All in 10/2 cotton. |
The heavier pattern weft makes a more textured fabric, of course, and that's another design element I can easily control. It's another example of crackle's versatility.

I do love the perfect horizontal symmetry of sample #2!
Michelle, I'm finding it a very fun structure to weave. i see dishtowels and scarves in my future!
