Broken Twill Fabric Inspiration – Schacht Spindle Company

Description

By Jane PatrickI love this bold broken twill pattern. It is fairly easy to thread and the straight twill treadling is a snap to weave. We threaded this up for our Anniversary Catalog and find that it looks terrific on the cherry 45” Standard Floor Loom. This is an 8-shaft pattern, but you could just as easily weave it on 4-shafts, say, for example Three Thread Herringbone, treadling I on page 24 of Davisons’s A Handweaver’s Pattern Book.Project SpecsWeave structure: 8-shaft broken twill, with floating selvedges on either sideNumber of warp ends: 442Warp length: 3-1/4 yards, which allows 28
