Six of your four harnesses? ;-) Please share?

If this isn't a typo and you've found a way to do true doubleweave twill 
  on 4 harnesses, I want to know your secret... I'm a twill fanatic. 
(OK, maybe this is something everyone knows, these days - I've been out 
of the weaving loop for a while...)

Meanwhile, a good way to handle not enough treadles is direct tie up. 
One treadle per harness, tromp two at a time. Usually easier than 
changing tie up all the time.
