Colour-and-weave

Log cabin

Plain weave throughout; the pattern is pure colour order. Where the warp and weft sequences step together you see lines, where they clash they turn.

Log cabin is a colour effect drawn in indigo warp over natural weft - woven in a single colour the same threads would read plain weave, and the whole figure comes from the order of dark and light.

The complete draft of Log cabin, 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
