Loom bead pattern, 180 × 87 beads, made on Chromattice.
The owner's rep rug, made again block for block in the new rep editor, from my reading of @jbeuckman's picture. Nine shaft pairs of 20 ends in Charcoal and Pale grey, threaded A B C B A B C B A; 29 blocks, 87 ribs: crosses in A and C on a pale ground, a band of stripes, then the crosses broken up. Three blocks on six shafts and six treadles, a pair of treadles for each face, and a balanced tie-up (every treadle lifts one shaft of each block), so it would go on a counterbalance loom. At 30 ends and 4 ribs an inch it comes to about 6 × 22 in, more runner than rug. Thick and thin weft both Charcoal. The design is the owner's; the charting is mine.
