I've been looking up weaving something other than plain weave on the warp weighted loom. I finally got a chance to go through some notes I'd downloaded and printed out from http://www.illuminatedspaces.com. They answer a lot of questions I'd had.
The natural shed counts as #1 on the shaft count of any weaving draft.
Apparently, once the heddles are threaded, I can do any twill pattern, except point and diamond (which use a mirror threading), it just depends on the number sequence I use for the pattern.
Now I just need to figure out what would have been used for numbers so I can make a pattern chart.
