Point & herringbone

Chevron

A point threading under a 2/2 tie-up: the diagonal turns at each apex into a zigzag, the first pattern most weavers try after a straight twill.

The complete draft of Chevron, shaft 1 along the top row: threading across the top, tie-up top-right, treadling down the right and the computed drawdown at the lower left, where a filled square marks a warp end lying over the weft - edit it live in the generator
