Designing and Weaving Double Cloth

Cally Booker

Description

Designing and Weaving Double Cloth explains the magic behind creating a multi-layered fabric in a single piece. With clear, detailed instruction and over 500 images, it provides a thorough account of the principles, and encourages you to explore the potential of this exciting technique. Double cloth holds a special fascination for handweavers: there is something truly extraordinary about being able to create a multi-layered fabric in a single piece.

The processes of double weave design and construction are developed step-by-step through detailed examples and inspirational projects. Starting with two layers on four shafts, and methodically building up a repertoire of design elements from blocks and curves to colour and structure, this book offers something for everyone from the double cloth novice to the experienced weaver. Every element is illustrated with samples and full-colour drafts and practical advice is supported by detailed photographs of warping, weaving and finishing techniques.

Throughout the book, the emphasis is on offering a choice of approaches in both design and construction, equipping the reader with the tools to pursue their own vision for double cloth and bring it to life at the loom.
