To weave the DDW sampler, you’ll need an 8-shaft floor or table loom, 12 or 15 dent reed, 2 shuttles, 2–3 bobbins, tape measure, T-pins, weights for broken ends, and scissors. Floor loom weavers will need 24 treadle cords or pins for their tie-up.

Finally understand Deflected Doubleweave

“Excellent course by an excellent teacher. I finally understand DDW and can't wait to try it again, successfully this time. Once it really hit me that it was basically plain weave with floats on two layers it became clear. Thanks Janney for your expert instruction and awe-inspiring woven items!” - Linda Rusczek
