Overview

Doubleweave is the art of weaving two layers of cloth at the same time, one above the other on the loom, to create beautiful cloth that is reversible yet unique on each side. Using pick-up techniques and clever color mixing, patterns emerge that are different by complementary on each side. Weavers who have unlocked the keys to doubleweave can create not only beautiful and functional cloth, but pieces that are two ore more times as wide as the loom, and even sculptural pieces. Techniques are shown for 4-shaft and 8-shaft looms. The weaving effects covered include lace, tubular weave, pick-up, color mising, and more. Detailed instructions for a sampler and other projects help the reader to master doubleweave techniques and develop infinite variations in their own weaving.
