Some drafts for weaving are very, very long if they are written out thread by
thread. To save space, wherever any section of the threading or treadling is re-
peated, a bracket is placed above it with the number of times to do that section.
For example, in the threading draft shown here, there are 2 levels of brackets,
one marked 2x and one marked 10x. To thread: Start at the right side and
thread (after the floating selvedge) 1-2-3-4. Since the 2x is
directly above these threads, you will thread that 2 times. Then continue, 1-2-3-
4-1-4-3-2-1-4. You are now at the end of the 10x bracket, so you’ll do every-
thing under that bracket (including the 2x section) 10 times. When the thread-
ing continues to another row, you also read that row from right to left.
Repeats in the treadling and in the warp color order are treated in the same
way. Note that the color order chart looks like a threading draft but indicates
the order in which to wind warp colors (4 black, 8 green, 4 black, then 9 red
and 9 white 6 times, 4 green, 4 black).
