Okay, so halfway through threading this towel, I realized I should have taken a closer look at the photo in the article. There are more than 7 repeats across the towel. In fact it looks like there are eleven.
So the repeat must be six of the threading units from the middle of the profile, with the other 5 at the edges as balance. 6 x 11 + 5 = 71. Oh, well; I am making a different design!
If you are weaving this project and want it to look like the photo, I think this 11x profile draft to the right here will do it, rather than the 7x one I put in the previous post. Use the same threading key from the previous post, substituting the 8-thread units for the blocks A and B.
When looking at the treadling sequence, I'm meeting with similar confusion as I had with the threading. There is no indication of which part to repeat. Not the whole thing? It's not symmetrical and doesn't seem to relate to the threading. The photo shows a design that looks like a "squared" plaid. The threading has only 24 ends of the bleached linen in a stripe, yet this treadling is showing 44 picks of the bleached.
I've made a treadling sequence that "squares off" the 7x threading that I used.
And if you're using the 11x threading, this sequence should square it off.
