School of Weaving Kit - s04e01 Simple Two Stripe

In this first episode of Season 4, we dive into twills. We’ll learn how to weave twills on 4 shafts, how to do drawdowns, use different tie-ups (2/2 vs 3/1 vs 1/3), we’ll be using floating selvedges and basket weave with twills. We’ll also be overlaying many of the Colour & Design principles from Season 2 onto these twill structures.
