                      -  Follow this repeat pattern for diamond twill:  •  Thread the Heddles

                      -  Observe how the diamond pattern builds up      •  Start Weaving

                4  Herringbone twill weave threading order.
                                                                           -  Weave consistently with a moderate beat.

                      -  Second half (reverse): 4-3-2-1                       effect.

                   •  Warp the loom                                        -  Once weaving is done, cut from the loom.
                      -  Measure warps threads for desired length.         -  Secure ends.
                      -  Use a warping mill to wind your warp.
