FURTHER DETAILS
Pattern
Multiple bands forming an overall pattern. Parallel bands consist of three threads of system 2, inserted into a single shed and separated by two sheds with single picks, following a 3:1:1:3 repeat. The introduction of sporadic pairs of threads appears to be an error. The spacing between the parallel bands is irregular.
