Unbalanced Twills
Unbalanced twills are those where one side of the fabric shows more warp, while the other
shows more weft; this is in contrast to a balanced 2/2 twill. On four shaft, a 1/3 twill is
unbalanced. On the left is the drawdown
showing the weft-dominant side.
On the right is the corresponding weft-
dominant side of the fabric, with the
reverse, warp-dominant side below.
Shown in the drawdown below is how to
weave both weft and warp-dominant on
one side of the fabric. Three shafts have to
be raised for the warp dominant fabric, so a
total of eight treadles are needed.
Since most four-shaft looms have six, th3 skeleton tie-up
in the drawdown on the left can be used.
