PENGUIN Doubleweave Revised & Expanded

Great book!

Lots of good info on the weaving techniques 👍

This book told me exactly what I needed to know to get started with a double weave project.

Having read this book, and wanting to do another double weave blanket to get something wide and long from my 24" wide loom, I read, understood, warped up and got weaving. Not interlacing he layers but keeping them on shafts 1/2 and3/4 makes it a lot easier to get your head round. THis book has a great exercise described that takes you through all the combination and permutations of what can be done with a double warp - not just double width projects. I have bought the cotton to give it a go. I wanted to do my blanket first. My second double weave project . The first was on a RHL with a hairy yarn... I did it but it was very painful. I have a four shaft table loom. The book covers 4 and 8 shafts so there's something for everyone, and when shaft envy gets the better of us as it surely will for most, this book has room to grow. I would say this book, with it's no nonsense, clear approach is a "must-have" for any hand weaver. Escpecially beginners.

Written by the woman who created double weave with colors that are incredible. Good info about color and color mixing as well as information all about double weave and how to create it as well as folded fabric to double, tripe or even quadruple your width!
