It is time for me to try Double Weaving on my rigid heddle loom for the first time. And I'm taking you along with me! In this video, I share my process of learning double weaving on my loom. I show what I did right and also what I did wrong.

THE BOOK
For this technique, I'm using as reference "The Ashford Book of Rigid Heddle Weaving", the revised edition, by Rowena Hart. The technique is found from page 98 to 100.
This book is available at The Woolery, here's the link: https://woolery.com/ashford-book-of-rigid-heddle-weaving.html?aff=214
THE HEDDLES
For double weave, you would need two heddles. If you need an extra heddle and in the US, the Woolery has them all! Here's the link https://woolery.com/ashford-rigid-heddles.html?aff=214
LOOM
In the video, you can see my 32"(80cm) rigid heddle loom from Ashford. If you are looking for a loom just like mine and in the US, you can check out the Woolery's website. Here's the link: https://woolery.com/ashford-rigid-heddle-loom.html?aff=214
