Sponsored by TWIST - Tablet Weavers International Studies & Techniques Interesting question, Gudrun. I see I gave a rough rule on P 120,viz: "At a diagonal boundary between areas of opposite twining, it is the area whose twining is parallel with that boundary which is raised. So in the bottom half of Fig 103, it is the background which is raised and in the top half it is the diamond itself which is raised." I suppose this is telling you where to expect the raised edge, but not why there is a raised edge! I found that this effect was more marked with only two threads per tablet, because here the twining direction of a cord is reversed more suddenly; see plate 79. I think of it like this. Imagine a simple narrow band woven entirely like top right-hand half of the background. If you held up this unbalanced band when woven, it will want to twist on itself in S direction. Similarly a band woven entirely like top righthand half of diamond will want to twist on itself in Z direction. So isn't the difference in level just where those two opposing twisting tendencies meet?
