However, those steps are repeated to form the floats; in order to combine them with another set of treadling steps they have to be listed individually as shown below.

To combine this huck lace with a twill, we need 10 treadling steps. I started simply with a pointed twill. The tie-up is 4 treadles, but there are 6 treadling steps, as shown below.

We need 10 treadling steps to match the huck lace. I can add some by weaving the pointed threading with a bird’s eye treadling. Note that while the tie-up is still 4 treadles, there are now 8 treadling steps.

We need two more. We can add the rosepath treadling to the drawdown above.

By adding the 4 & 1 step after the 1 & 2, we have to include both in our total; we have 10 steps! Now we can expand the treadling as shown below.

Next we can combine the two structures as shown in the following drawdown:

If I were to weave this, I would make some changes. I would add a bit more plain weave to the huck threading along the vertical edges, to separate it better from the twill. I would shift the treadling of the twill to start at treadle six to avoid partial motifs. Thus shaft 1 is attached to 2, 4, 5, 8; the rest of the tie-up rotates accordingly.

When I combine twills, I often like to balance the motifs. If I were to weave this drawdown, I would balance it as well. I would either start and end with the twill or start and end with the huck, as I have done in the drawdown below. I think in this case the fabric would be more pleasing when balanced.

What structures would you like to combine?

Happy weaving!
