This post is to (hopefully) clarify on how to play with missing threads, background and accompanying colours. All my motifs can be woven with these 4 variants of threading (with different results). Please give some feedback if it is not clear.
Case 1: Classical Sulawesi: One motif colour (red), one background colour (blue) and 2 threads with the accompanying colour (White).
Case 2: Sulawesi with 2 accompanying colours: motif colour (orange), one background colour (blue) and 2 threads with different accompanying colours (red and yellow). This is the example to the right. The left shows the threading, but has a variety of colours.
Case 3: One missing hole/3 threads Sulawesi: One motif colour (red), no background colour (empty hole = X) and 2 threads with the accompanying colour (yellow).
Case 4: 2 missing holes/2 threads Sulawesi or “Pebble weave”: One motif colour (orange), one background colour (brown) and the empty holes (X) where the accompanying colours should be.
