Doubleweave on Four to Eight Shafts

by Ursina Arn-Grischott

 “Double and multilayered cloths are textiles made with two or more layers woven simultaneously, one on top of another.  While thought by many to be difficult to construct, Ursina Arn-Grischott successfully presents the subject in an easy-to-understand fashion, opening the field to every handweaver.  This book introduces the principles of double weave and explains step by step the different aspects of construction.  The weave structures and techniques are well illustrated with three-dimensional drawings, large color photos and accompanied with the threading drafts and treadling.  It will give you the confidence to design and create your own original double and multilayered cloth.”
