See attached. This is the twinned greave from Dura. You probably know, but for those reading, the reason you make twinned fabric is that you cannot bend thick threads made of linen over and under another thread without weakening it. So if you want a thick fabric, you pass the thick thread over two or three other strands, thus at a less severe angle. You could put a thick thread over another thick thread, but then it looks like a welcome mat and is very coarse.
