Another art experiment: choose randomly from 4 colors, 2 threads at a time, plain weave. Not exactly a plaid because there is no systematic alternation of wide and narrow stripes, but the randomness produces noticeable stripes, so the effect is plaidish. For 250 by 250 pairs, with 4 colors, it’s easy to have a noticeable surplus of one color or another, which means that on a large enough canvas, there would be larger patterns.
