Samples #5 & 6 of my 4-shaft crackle manners of weaving sampler.
Crackle is a twill derivative and can be treadled as for any twill pattern, of
which there are dozens. It may be woven with tabby or without. I've done a
number of these previously (see End of Warp Sampling), and so for this sampler, I decided to experiment with different twill
patterns. I found one in Davison called "Rambler Rose," that can be woven with
or without tabby.

#5. Treadled as Rambler Rose I with tabby |
 |
| #6. Treadled as Rambler Rose II without tabby |
Weaving Notes
- Warp for both samples is 10/2 cotton in natural
- #5 pattern weft is 10/2 doubled, tabby is same as warp
- #6 pattern weft is 5/2 cotton, tabby same as warp
- Adding tabby obviously expands the pattern (almost loses the pattern)
- Neither is especially interesting to weave
- Nor can I think of anything I'd use them for
More examples
As mentioned above, I previously wove a number of twill treadled samples on the remaining warp of a Scandinavian Favorite table runner. These can be seen at my
End of Warp Sampling blog post.
