Hi,

Very new to weaving and working on my first piece and can't find instructions on how to warp two different patterns on the loom. I want to make a scarf that has a plain border on each side with a pattern in the middle. Say plain weave and then a twill, horizontal bell celtic. What I am not understanding is how to warp them. Specifically which number shaft/heddle to thread them through. I get the plain, but not sure with the twill because they use different shaft movements. I was told that you thread them on the shafts instead of moving the shafts levers and I can find drafts that incorporate two patterns, but nothing to explain how to do them from scratch.

I hope that all makes sense and someone can help.

Thanks Amanda

Sorry I forgot to mention I am using a 4 shaft loom.
