Doubleweave,with Clotilde Barrett.

If you have a narrow loom, you'll love the flexibility that this technique gives you to weave cloth wider than your loom. If width isn't your concern, you'll find many challenges in weaving a double layer cloth, making one side one color or pattern, & the other side a different color. You will weave a beautiful sampler which incorporates just about all the 4 harness techniques which are based on the doubleweave principle. Techniques covered include weaving 2 separate layers, folded cloth, tubes, slits, color- &-weave, pique, doubleweave pickup patterns.
