Doubleweave on a 4-Shaft Loom Video Download

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. 

Included with your purchase:

• 3 hours 32 minutes of video instruction
• Video workbook
• Doubleweave Pick-Up Project
