Sample #23 of my 4-shaft crackle manners of weaving sampler.
I found this one in Susan Wilson's Weave Classic Crackle & More, when I was working on my Italian manner samples. It's in her polychrome chapter, of which there are so many examples that I started with only a few for my polychrome sample page. There wasn't a photo for this one, but there was a quote from an article by Nancy Lyon. She calls it a broken twill polychrome. Of it she says that it "lets me blend many weft colors within and across threaded blocks, creating the illusion of complex threading on four harnesses."
That statement caught my attention, and I like the result so much I wanted to give it it's own blog post. It's one I'd like to further explore in the future.Here's my sample:

| Sample #23, broken twill treadling on crackle |
-
The description presented in Wilson's book is described as one method
to treadle polychrome in this manner. (I'd love to get my hands on the original article).
- Description calls for two colors with a note that more may be used.
- Uses broken twill treadling. I'm also notating it as a table loom liftplan:
