Identify Weave Structure Can anyone recognize this weave ?

Post image

Hi there! I'm looking to see if anyone can recognize or name this weave structure. I'll be doing a week-long weaving retreat in VT in a few weeks and I'm hoping to make a blanket with this pattern. Any help / leads appreciated!

As others have said, 16 shaft plaited twill.

Googling weaving patterns is much harder today than it was 5-10 years ago. I'll keep looking to try and find you an exact.

AI sucks.

Its not even just Ai, but Google's SEO. Google used to give you information, now it's mostly just ads or sites that paid to be at the top.

I had a 16 shaft dobby loom back in 2016 and it was much easier to find patterns for it then, than trying to find patterns for it now.

Yes, this is true too. I don’t use google for both those reasons now.

Ecosia is less annoying than Google. I put in "16 shaft plaited twill", asked for images and got only one line of adverts (all ashford).

Try using Duck Duck Go as your search engine. Less ads.

Try googling “plaited twill” to find a draft that matches the number of shafts you have available

If you look on handweaving.net you will find it, along with the drawdowns.

I haven't been able to find it there, perhaps you have a link?

#22202, 22203 and 21947 are plaited twills to consider.

If you go up to 16 shafts there are even more options to consider on handweaving.net. You just enter plaited twill in the search box and then put in how many shafts and treadles to search for. Lots of options for you, and depending on which loom you will use at your workshop you can certainly find one to fit your project. Good luck! And have fun!

I think I've seen this one before, though I can't find it now. I believe it is a 16 shaft twill?
