I have brought a couple of videos on simple warp float technique over here from my Flickr page which show how to weave the lower of the two triangles at left.
There is a full tutorial on this technique on this page. These videos supplement those instructions.
In the videos I am weaving the triangle shown above and show how to float the first three pairs of warps – pairs 1, 3 and 5. The second part of the video shows how to float the second set of warps – pairs 2 and 4.

Hi Desmond. For this technique you need to make a warp with the two colors separated into two sheds so that when you weave you create a band of horizontal stripes. Then you can float one of the two colors and make designs.
You will see instructions for creating this kind of warp on this page:

Look for the title Horizontal Stripes on that page and then follow the diagrams and pictures and links.
