Explore the wonder of the Magic Eight twill threading: It is full of surprises! Slides, samples, charts, and a handout will teach a special formula to alter the tie-up and treadling on a straight eight twill to imitate many other types of weaving without re-threading. With transposed shafts, one can weave fancy twills and rosepath, as well as weft-faced patterned or ‘boundweave’ fabrics based on twills, krokbragd, rosepath, taquete, and many others. Asymmetrical letters, numbers, and other unique design options are also based on the Magic Eight. Learn to draft and design to achieve the maximum creativity on one warp.
