This class will focus on doubleweave techniques that can be woven on a 4-shaft loom. Tubes, double-width fabrics and 2-layer designs will no longer be a mystery! Participants will get a chance to try weaving each variation and will also go home with their own design for a doubleweave sampler to try at home. A rigid heddle loom will also be set up with double weave for experimenting.
