I just wound a terribly sticky mohair warp with 6 basic colors- I didn't like the sett so I opened it up and double wove 2 layers at once separating the colors to a more pleasing color combination and producing 2 scarves at once . I had a plain weave sett of 1234,1234...Then wove with 2 shuttles. shuttle one was thrown first and third. shuttle 2 second and fourth. the tromp or treadling was 1, 123, 3, 134. I set my treadles up in the middle 6 treadles(2,3,4,5)- so treadle 2 depressed harness1, treadle 3 depressed harnesses123, treadle 4 depressed3 and treadle 5 depressed harnesses 134.
