/* Twill 2/2 */
* London, Milk Street and Watling Court (late C9th - late C10th): Two examples of 2/2 twill were found. One had a thicker thread in every third weft, which was dyed red with madder the other weft threads were dyed blue. The other fragment was of natural brown wool. [PRITCHARD 1984: p. 56]
 
*York: 6 wool fragments were of non-reversed 2/2 twill. Some were so small that they may have been from a chevron or diamond twill, but no pattern is recognisable in the preserved fragments. Two were dyed with madder. [WALTON 1989: p.321]
