Deflected double weave

Here is the threading for my deflected double weave warp. We had to make 3 different design threading's in the warp so that is what I did. My warp is 22,5cm wide making each designs 7,5cm. I have a dark blue on shaft 1-4 and a lighter blue on shaft 5-8. (weaving is like the threading) The liftplan is where the playing starts, I've started to draw different possibilities but there are so many, so this is not all that is possible. At the moment I'm weaving number 4. It will become interesting…

The culmination of the year’s Deflected Double Weave study by the Way out West study group (WOW), was to convert a profile draft to a DDW and weave it. I selected a 4 shaft weave and used a portion…

Many weavers aren’t sure what yarns to pair with drafts. Janney Simpson gives advice for DDW that you may want to incorporate for other structures as well.

Mid January I took a weaving workshop with Natalie Drummond, called Color Lab. In the Zoom workshop we did explorations into color selection for using painted warps in Deflected Double weave. Of co…

weaving and spinning my way through life

The Southeast Fiber Forum Association holds a workshop every other year at Arrowmont in Gatlinburg, TN. I went in 2013 and 2105 and have e...

Usually, overshot is woven with a warp and tabby weft of the same size and a pattern weft that is two to three times heavier/thicker than the warp and tabby weft.

I've finished the warping and the first cm is woven. In the end I did take the raddle of the Leclerc loom as I did not need it there any longer and I found some other lease sticks, so I could start with warping the Thumm loom. This is a 16 shaft table loom but I'm only using 8 shafts for this warp. For the deflected double weaving I need a closer sett so I have warped 16 threads/cm with a width of 22,5 cm. I feel this is a good sample width but I have made the warp long enough so that I can…
