Have you ever longed for one of those BIG beautiful textured throws shown draped over the back of a chair in a magazine, this is your chance. Double Weave is a clever technique that allows you to weave two separate layers of plain weave fabric at the same time on a 4 shaft loom. By carefully maintaining the treadling and shuttle direction you can close the one selvage creating a double width fabric. When you have finished weaving and open it up your blanket will be approximately twice the weaving width of your loom. During the class, students will learn the basic fundamentals of Double Weave and then warp a loom using our easy chain warp method.

Materials are not provided for this class. Yarns are available for purchase for use in class or students may bring their own.

Class Cancellations & Refunds

If bringing your own, Sara suggests any yarn that isn't too stretchy and would sett at 8-10 EPI.

If you're using a yarn that's 10 EPI, you'd need approximately 1200-1300yds for warp and 500yds for weft. If your yarn is 8 EPI, you can use approximately 1000yds for the warp and 400yds for the weft.

These are suggestions and we would recommend over compensating the yardage depending on how you want to arrange them, or what type of stripe pattern that you choose.
