Advancing twill


I've always been intrigued by the fractal quality of advancing twills. So at last I decided to weave one to make a backrest cushion for our iron bedstead.  Inspired by weaver woman's Caribbean Beach I designed a warp then wove two 1.50m lengths of fabric, one with a black weft the other with a white weft - both in 8/2 cotton at 25epi. 

Difficult to spot threading errors with these fine constantly changing patterns.  In fact I had one through the entire white weft weave and only when I changed to black and the pattern was clearer did I discover it.
