I’ve been working more with my Rigid Heddle looms these days. I’ve managed to work out how to weave twills using two heddles.
It’s pretty simple and very medieval. Rigid Heddles are amoun the earliest weaving implements found by archeologists. The technique goes back to the Ancient era. Twills are also found in very early time periods.
I’ve drafter my own patterns for my use and welcome anyone else to feel free to use them. When I warp the loom, 1 indicates a thread that goes through a slot in the back heddle and a hole in the front. 2 goes through the hole in the back and slot in the front. 3 means slots in both heddles.
