Sarah's nomenclature idea is at first convincing but then I see that it is endeavouring to give BOTH the structure and the method in one title. This in my opinion is almost always a mistaken aim in classification.. hence the complete split between the Emery structure-based classification and the Basel method-based one. Hence also my rejection of Harvey's 'Split-Ply Twining' as a name; because it tried to tell you how and what you get, in one confusing collection of words. I know this is all academic.. and may seem dry hair-splitting. Also a technique often acquires a shortened name... like 'double-faced' .. used in speech and notes, whereas a more accurate name is too cumbersome for such use. In any case to call the result of the 'Crockett' technique 'weft-patterned' is surely pretty inaccurate? What you see is a warp-twined surface with fine grooves in it, in which the weft MAY show if thick enough.
