Weave with Double Heddles on a Rigid Heddle Loom
Class Description: Weaving with Double Heddles on a Rigid Heddle Loom
Class Overview
This two-part class is designed to elevate your weaving skills by introducing the use of double heddles on a rigid heddle loom. Participants will learn how to create double-width fabric, expanding the possibilities of their weaving projects.
Part 1: Setup and Techniques
In the first session, we will cover the fundamentals of using double heddles, including loom setup and threading techniques. Participants will gain a comprehensive understanding of the mechanics behind double-width weaving. Through guided practice, you will learn how to manipulate the warp and weft to create intricate patterns and textures.
Part 2: Project Creation
The second session focuses on applying the techniques learned in Part 1 to create a finished project. Each participant will have the opportunity to design and weave their own double-width fabric piece, exploring different yarn choices and color combinations. The aim is to produce beautiful fabric while reinforcing skills such as tension control and pattern planning.
Join us in this class to take your weaving to the next level and discover the creative potential of double heddle techniques!
Materials Needed:
