School of Weaving Deflected Double Weave

Release date - April 18th, 2024 for 4 & 8 shaft weavers! Episode 3 is an introduction to Deflected Double Weave on 4 shafts and 8 shafts. For the 4-shaft section, I wove a sampler with one half threaded as a 4-thread unit and the other half threaded as a 5-thread unit. I tried all kinds of sequences in just one colour with one shuttle and then again with 2 colours and 2 shuttles. Then I took all that information and wove a set of towels that I love, love, love. The PDF has it all. The 8-shaft sampler was threaded to Mary Atwater’s very first draft for Deflected Double Weave from her recipe book. I then morphed it into all kinds of treadling sequences pushing the graphic in other directions. In the end, I took 2 of my favourite sections and wove them in super fine baby Alpaca in gorgeous colours.
