Doubleweave (The Weaver's Studio)

Defy Your Loom’s Limits

The conventional use for a shaft loom is to weave one layer of flat fabric, no wider than the loom. Doubleweave blows that convention out of the water. Master weaver Jennifer Moore takes a fresh and logical look at this most intriguing of weave structures while exploring its myriad possibilities. Inside you’ll learn how to:


Weave a fabric twice, thrice, or four times the width of your loom—with no seam
Weave a fabric with intersecting layers
Change the tie-up to get many structures on one warp
Weave stitched, quilted, and piqué fabrics
Make color magic with doubleweave blocks
Pick up an infinity of patterns in a variety of structures
Weave pockets, a seamless tube, many seamless tubes, a tube within a tube
And so much more!

With Doubleweave, you’ll learn to set up your loom efficiently, to manage your shuttles and layer changes, and to finish your work effectively. Best of all, you’ll learn to think in a new way about how doubleweave works on as many shafts as you have so you can apply it in fresh and creative ways. You will be a master of the magic of doubleweave.
