Double weave is an ingenious weaving technique that enables you to create two-layered cloth while interconnecting and exchanging the layers. Join us to explore the versatility and creativity of this technique through a dynamic PowerPoint lecture supplemented with hands-on samples. Erika’s presentation will cover:

•  a brief historical overview of double weave.
• the different types of double weave fabrics, including two-layered, double-width, tubular, and more.
• practical tips for effectively managing warp tension issues.
