Crepe Closer 1

Except at close range, the structures of crepe samples woven with 20/2 cotton sett at 37½ e.p.i. are too small to see. Here are a few swatches in close-up to better show detail of the structure. A tape measure appears in the photos to show scale. These are all from Carol Strickler's A Weaver's Book of 8-Shaft Patterns, previously published in A Handbook of Weaves by G.H. Oelsner.

#23 This one is an "interlocking twill"


#24 Another interlocking twill


#25 Interlocking twill


#26 This one is a crepe


#27 This is one of my favorites
They are all rather nice though, so it is tough to choose.


#28 Yet another nice one


Of course, it would be best to see and feel these in person. But that will have to wait for higher technology. Until then, stand by for more close-ups.
