My blog in August was about developing an eight-shaft tie-up for broken twills blocks, also called false satin. Here is the drawdown as a reminder:

I wove the sample and here it is:

Next, I wove the classical turned twill blocks. Here is the sample:

Below is the drawdown with the tie up for the turned twill blocks; it is derived from the broken twill by returning all quadrant to a straight 1/3 (or 3/1) twill tie-up.

There is a bit of warp left, so rethreading may be in order. There are other options for twill blocks and other structures.

Happy weaving and happy fall.
