FURTHER DETAILS
Other features
In one case, a warp thread appears to change places with its neighbour, floating over three weft shots in the process. Float phenomenon reversed on back with the other warp threads. A pair of warp threads works together in one case. Definitely a pair, not an open splice
Notes from the original description
Some spliced yarns in both systems.
