Jill's 2nd gamp with shaded treadling
SHADED TWILL - start with a 1/3 twill, move to a 2/2 twill, then a 3/1 twill
to shade from weft predominant structure to warp predominant. Best done with direct tieup!

Folks who shifted the Ikat portions were disappointed that the shifts were not "perfect", but it actually adds to the effect here.
