Rose writes: "No, the 2 drafts are not structurally the same - can't be because one is on 7 shafts the other on 8. Top one is a<BR/>2/1/1/1/1/1 twill and each row moves over one end in twill progression. The other is more complex. It works on 6 ends plain weave then weft over 2 followed by 6 ends plain weave and 2 warps. The alternate row is exactly opposite the one above. The next pair of wefts move over 2 ends in twill order. Longest floats over 2 in each case... My personal interpretation is that corkscrew weaves have 2 definite drafts merged, which these have, and shadow weaves have alternate light and dark in both warp and weft - which these also have - so I don't think it matters what they are called. (Purists may not agree!)"<BR/><BR/>Just one question, Rose; are you saying both of these qualify as Corkscrew?Meghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01350447919000146804noreply@blogger.com
