(My thought was that one would like to show all three layers on the top, just to make everybody notice there *are* three layers... )<br /><br />My putting the open end to the right was just to make my intention clear - not everybody would have read your "challenge" :-)<br /><br />Middle layer: I guess you mean the shedding order? Yes, one pick is top and middle1 raised, bottom and middle2 lowered. Next comes top and middle2 raised, bottom and middle1 lowered.

One going red-yellow-black, another one going black-red-yellow. Isn't that just two blocks? <br />And another question: Now I had already had in mind to have an open selvedge on the right side, but why do you consider it a prerequisite for your two-block draft? Will there be different draw-in taking place or something else I haven't even considered? <br /><br />And a third question: how do you go about a middle layer? I have no problems understanding double weave and how you make sure one layer stays at the bottom and one at the top, what makes my mind start spinning whenever I get to it is ahhh .... Where do you want the middle layer to be in your tie-up? You raise all top layer shafts plus one of the middle layer, then lower all of the bottom layer plus one of the middle layer? Is that sort of getting close? <br /><br />Sorry to be such a mind-picker! :) Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11164510502176446019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7931657983109057026.post-50890039185573935132016-09-12T17:35:34.745+02:002016-09-12T17:35:34.745+02:00Thank you very much indeed, Kerstin!!
