4 shafts, 2 layers, and so many possibilities!

Doubleweave is a fascinating and versatile structure. Many weavers know it as a way to weave cloth twice as wide as the loom, but there's so much more to it. Using just four shafts, you'll learn how to: 

  • Weave two layers of cloth that are completely separate, joined at one selvedge, or joined at both to form a tube
  • Experiment with color techniques like color-and-weave, stitched cloth, and simple piqué
  • Explore loom-controlled and hand-manipulated effects, including quilting, leno, and Brooks bouquet
  • Venture into doubleweave pick-up, which lets you create intricate designs with the colors reversed on each side of your fabric

In this workshop, you'll learn to wind a double warp, set up your loom, and weave a doubleweave sampler incorporating 10 different techniques. Welcome to the world of doubleweave, with the Diva of Doubleweave herself, Jennifer Moore.

This workshop is presented by Schacht, who provided the Baby Wolf loom and other weaving equipment you will see in the videos.
