Typically, parallel threadings have been used with a narrow range of weave structures – echo weave, double weave, warp-faced compound tabby (aka Jin or turned taqueté), shadow and rep weave, and turned-tie weaves. I have discovered hundreds of novel structures which can be used in double two-tie (D2T) threadings. Many of these novel structures show interesting and dramatic color effects when used in parallel threadings and treadlings.
I will describe and demonstrate how these novel structures were discovered, how they are characterized, and how to use them in weaving drafts. Then I will discuss how to determine which structures show color effects when used in parallel threadings and treadlings, and how to draft these effects in the tie-up. Many woven samples will be available to examine.
