Want more pattern and texture in your life? Deflected doubleweave (DDW) can be combined with traditional doubleweave to create layers, pockets, and connections all in the same piece. Use this technique to weave dramatic scarves, shawls, and cowls with a variety of fibers and colorways.
In this workshop, instructor Janney Simpson demonstrates how to use 8-shaft table and floor looms to weave DDW with several variations. Janney’s clever method uses a skeleton tie-up, allowing you to change layers at will without retying your treadles.
Her approach to weaving this dynamic structure delivers limitless design options.
As you watch, you’ll:
Weave stunning fabrics on your table or floor loom using fewer shafts and treadles than you might expect. The included workbook makes it easy to follow along, and soon you’ll have all the tools you need to weave astounding deflected doubleweave fabrics. Get started exploring this exciting structure with instructor Janney Simpson!

Doubleweave is a fascinating and versatile structure. While weaving with four shafts lets you experiment with doubleweave in many different ways, using eight (or more) shafts expands your possibilities exponentially.
