Angled Draft

Angled Draft
ANGLED DRAFT
A method of drawing threads through the healds from front to back and then back to front, so that reverse weave designs are produced. The American meaning of this term differs slightly from above. They draw the warp threads straight for a certain number and then reverse, but the starting shaft for the reverse is on a shaft about half-way between No. 1 and the last shaft as shown in the diagram, where both styles are given. A shows the first, which is actually a "point draft", and B shows the real angled draft
