In all satins the number of ends in a repeat is the same in warp and filling. The lowest repeat of a regular satin comprises five threads of each system, and the interlacing is done in the following order: The 1st pick with the 1st warp-thread " 2d " " 3d " " 3d " " 5th " " 4th " " 2d " " 5th " " 4th " Fig. 43 illustrates this weave. An examination of the rotation, as given above, will show that every warp-thread intersects two picks apart from its neighbor. The number "2" is in this case what is technically known as the _counter_, that is the number which indicates the points of interlacing by adding it to number 1 and continuing so until all the warp-threads are taken up. The following is the rule to find the counter for any regular satin: Divide the number of harness into two parts, which must neither be equal nor have a common divisor. Any of these two numbers can be u
