This is basic two-shed weaving. Heddle harnesses one and three are raised alternately with harnesses two and four, creating a simple over-and-under weave. Other patterns are possible with this threading if different treadles are depressed, the most recognizable being a basic twill, treadled 1-4, 1-2, 2-3, 3-4. We'll save pattern weaving for the next warp!
365Caws is now in its 14th year of publication, and was originally intended to end after 365 days. It has sometimes been difficult for me to find new material, particularly during the winter months, but now as I enter my own twilight years, I cannot guarantee that I will be able to provide daily posts. It is my hope that along the way I may have inspired someone to a greater curiosity about the natural world. If so, I can rest, content in the knowledge that my work here has been done.
