It is pretty apparent why this weave structure, a point twill, is called Ms and Ws from this scarf, but not so apparent from the scarf below. I wanted to warp the loom once and weave two scarves that were very different in appearance, the purple scarf is much more formal than the red scarf. The draft is from A Weaver's Book of 8-Shaft Patterns, from the Editors of Handwoven.

Love the treadling that gives the pronounced W and M. My son is about to head off for college, his initials are WM, and I think I will weave him a scarf with this motif. Thanks for the great images.
