Posts about Double Weave written by evasweaving
I was thinking about the loom-controlled, patterned double weave project I did last year and realized that I wanted to explore this subject further. The way the two plain weave layers exchanged top and bottom areas with unclear edges was especially intriguing. My plan was to start by designing different double weave tie-ups and then…
Basic 4 colour drawdown I have finished the design for the next piece - 70cm x 70cm panel. The design is called 'A Sea of Smiles' and is based on a drawing of smiling lips I made in Photoshop. It's going to be the decorative 3-part, centre piece wall hanging for the new studio room using the basic design, it's lift plan inversion and the inversion with an additional high-contrast weft colour to highlight a row of 'smiles' It's inversion with the contrast colour Its a 24 shaft echo 2 double weave. The design line generated in Photoshop was networked to create the parallel threading - i.e echo 2 with an interval of 12. Warp is Plum and White whilst weft is Black with White Gold. All in 8/2 Tencel,840 ends @ 13epcm. Though designed on 24 shafts, ends 95-167 (which represents the second block from the right, a block using only shafts 1-4) are actually threaded onto shafts 25-28 and assigned their48 treadle tie up plus an extra 4 treadles of 3/1 twill. This allows me to choose to weave a third layer, using just this block, in a fourth weft colour - it produces a quasi-overshot block. The placing of this block will make one single focus point in the design (the weaving software doesn't allow me to show this) Options for overall colour scheme. Black with Burgundy and below it Black with Moss Green.

Handweaving blog by Beryl Moody
I began to collect weaves during the years that I worked as a sample weaver and designer for the apparel textile industry in NYC (read about it here and here). My co-workers and I wove so many interesting samples (we wove plenty of dull ones, too, of course) that I started to keep swatches and…

Xs weave draft
About two years ago I blogged about taking an overshot pattern called Jitterbug and converting it to an 8 harness Turned Taquete weaving draft. You can read all about that here. I don't know why my mind wandered back to that, but I started wondering about how it would work on 4 harnesses. In her article…
