Description
Dates: 1970
Size: 139 x 96 cm; 4 warps(comma) 20 wefts
Description: Twill is a common form of the double weave(comma) which uses four heddles instead of the regular two used in plain weaves. The four heddles are manipulated to produce a diagonal or diamond raised weave. Although there are archaeological examples of the technique(comma) it did not become common until the 1880's. Double weaves were typically used for creating saddle blankets because they are almost double the thickness of a plain weave. This example of a twill saddle blanket has different color schemes to the patterns on each side.
