This Threaded Herringbone Stitch is not the only stitch with this name!
In Mary Thomas's Dictionary of Embroidery Stitches, there is also a Threaded Herringbone Stitch, but where the contrasting thread is laced over and under the foundation stitches in a wavy line.
When I took part in TAST (Take A Stitch Tuesday) I learned #51 Raised Herringbone Band and #121 Twisted Lattice Band. It is that kind of threading used in Mary Thomas's version.
Apparently, Mary Thomas's Threaded Herringbone Stitch is also known as Barred Witch Stitch. One day in the future I will introduce this version here at Sunday Stitch School as it is an attractive, easy and useful stitch.
Now for today's homework:

These colorful stitches look nice!
There are so many ways of threading or interlacing a stitch like Herringbone, that a name like "Threaded Herringbone" doesn't really narrow it down, does it!
The herringbone band is my favourite today.
Threaded Herringbone Stitch is attractive in your sample stitches.
Its usefulness is obvious.
I have added it to my pizza shaped sampler. Thank you for so diligently giving us new stitches to learn!
The stitches look like a large suspension bridge.
