A Second Classic Crackle Sample

This sample was woven with pattern weft the same weight as the warp and background wefts. 

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.

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.

Michelle, I'm finding it a very fun structure to weave. i see dishtowels and scarves in my future!
