The design uses a network draft with four different networked curved lines, creating an abstract, flowing design. The draft features 120 shafts and 120 treadles, woven on a TC-2 jacquard hand loom. The threading consists of one networked line, while the treadling has three interwoven networked lines corresponding to alternating orange, green, and navy wefts. The tie-up uses different shades of satin 8. The network draft creates an interesting zigzag outline when many shafts are used.
