Di, I do not want to sound like a wet blanket...but honestly that is a
hard pattern. As someone advised, try a sample first. Then you will
understand the principles behind the turning and threading directions. I
would suggest a warp carrying 4 tablets, each holding black in two
adjacent holes and white in other two holes. Then weave diagonal stripes
until you can see how they work, how one tablet is related to its
neighbour, how back of band is related to front, how to change direction
of diagonal and so on. Then you will attack that 4-strand pattern with
understanding.... Not just blindly, like following a knitting pattern!

I agree ...,forget about ABCD labelling. I know of no old tablets which
ever had such markings. They are only of some use for a beginner's first
warp, I think.
