The orange weft will cause iridescence because orange and blue are opposites on the color wheel. Fun to play with the cloth when it does that. A dark rust as weft could be nice. To study tie-up with this kind of design, start with half 1/3 and half 3/1. That gives a clear reading of the design in threading and treadling. Then modify by changing to 2/2 at transition(s) and/or making more 1/3 than 3/1. If you want to change some shapes, you can move away from a strict twill tie-up, best if done gradually while watching results. Bonnie Inouye Very pretty!
