DOUBLE WEAVING ON RIGID HEDDLE LOOM

Weave double-width cloth or layered fabrics on your Rigid heddle loom.

Have you been weaving regular width fabrics for stoles and other products? How about weaving fabrics that are twice the width, yet on the same loom- say a curtain for your windows or a wide shawl or blanket.  Or weave two layers at once or cylindrical fabrics! The possibilities are exciting, right? 

In this workshop, you will learn to set up the loom for double weaving using 2 heddles in a Rigid heddle loom and weave a double cloth project to carry home.

This workshop includes:

• Warping for double weaving
• Weaving exploration of different kinds of double weaving- double-width, two-layers and tubular
• Weaving project: choose to weave a 30” square baby swaddle wrap/ 36” square throw/ 16” wadded cushion chair-pad

You can use the loom available at the studio. Sampler exploration materials provided by the studio. Yarns of your choice for your project can be purchased at actual costs.

Duration: 5 days x 5 ½  hours each with a ½ hour lunch break.

 Workshop fee: Rs. 8,000/-
