Description: Go beyond plain weave and double the fun with plain weave on two layers to create a double-wide cloth or a tube. The class starts with a presentation on double weave, warping and threading both heddles and two pick-up sticks. After learning how to weave double width, you’ll start on a tube bag that we will finish on day two.
