OK, so I looked at the shawl again. LOL I could only see detail by getting the pic directly and in zooming in, you really see the threads. Half way between top and bottom, and one third in from the left, there are three holes; two contained between the "medallions" and one within. In the one within a medallion, you can see the warp lines (which you can see throughout the body running left to right/horizontally), and you can see the weft lines (running up and down/vertically), and you can see the actual threads remaining. They take on a grid like appearance, whereas in knitting, there would be a "run/runner" with no concern with whether there was a medallion or not, running toward where the knitting was ending. Besides that, you can see the weft going over and under the warp threads, and then the warp threads pull away in both directions to be contained by more weft threads for the next medallion. The single warp threads can be see as holes in this transition, vs in knitting, which has a different look when there is a hole. Best,Susan Reishus
