09:30, the train
A weave is a function on the integer lattice: w(i, j) = 1 where warp end i passes over weft pick j, 0 where it passes under. In a 2/2 twill every thread passes over two and under two, shifting one step with each row, which makes the diagonal; reverse the shift every eight ends, swapping over for under at the turn, and you have herringbone. The formula is the loom’s whole program, and Jacquard’s loom of 1804 read its own from punched cards.

Wide, pleated, high on the waist. The pattern is not on the cloth; it is the order in which the threads cross.
A study: nothing can be ordered yet. The photograph is a generated image, not a picture of a made piece or of a real person.
