Thefiguring is developed in good warp and weft flushes neatlygrouped in diamonds, twills, and fancy mats. A typicalexample of these designs is furnished on fig. 116—a com-pound weavable on twelve shafts. It consists of bands jofplain weave, warp, rib, and figure. The figured sectioncomprises objects of the same form and dimensionsdeveloped in both warp and weft floats. Thus, while the. 24 116. figure marked in solid squares would in the fabric be com-posed of weft flushes, the figure marked in crosses wouldconsist of floats of warp; hence, providing the warp islight in shade, and the weft of an intermediate colour,these figures would be of distinct hues. Much of the meritof this class of design is dependent on suitable following scheme is illustrative of the methodsgenerally adopted:— Warp. 8 threads of bright blue. 2 ,, ,, white. 2 ,, ,, lavender. 4 ,, ,, white.
