Multiple Warp Design

Why be restricted to only one warp? A second (or even third) warp can be used in many different ways to embellish a cloth. From stripes to networked designs, from large scale patterns to tiny dots, this lecture will convince weavers that the extra time spent in warping is worth the effort. Many examples will be available for viewing. Appropriate for experienced weavers.
