Abstract
Algorithmic color placements in triaxial weaving generate surprising repeat patterns. Periodic arrangements of
complex tilings (multiple shape p3 and p6 symmetries) unfold. Tessellations, radial, threefold and sixfold symmetries
and directional patterns variously appear. Two-color examples with identical sequencing on each axis are
emphasized here, along with simple shifts in color placement which produce inverse colorways, rotations, or distinct
pattern variations.
