A question for those who know how to analyze warp-twined bands and draw a graph of the pattern -- this is new to me, but I'm sure many of you know it well.

To try to understand this, I'm using thick yarn for warp and small dowels for weft, with light in two adjacent holes, and dark in the other two. It's easy to spread the cords apart and see what the individual warps are doing. But in the places where two colors of a cord are going over my weft/dowel, which is the correct one to draw on the graph? It seems logical to me that it should be the thread that was previously on the top of the shed, and stays on top when the tablets are turned. Is that a good way to think about it?

If this is so, then could you say that when turning Forward, the color to put on the graph is the one in the near top hole (before turning), and when turning Backward, it would be the color in the far top hole (before turning)?

Or is it more complicated than that? It also seems that this is related to the twining direction....

Thanks for any thoughts about this.

Best to everyone,
Linda (hoping to write up details about Turkey next week!)
