Deflected Double Weave blog post by Jean Halford-Thompson JHT textiles

Deflected Double Weave

Marian Stubenitsky has a lifetime of weaving behind her and a remarkable way of exploring and working with colour. I am an avid follower of her work and have all of her books in my weaving library.

Usually my warps are 100% pure silk, but this time I’m using pink cashmere/silk yarn that I bought last year. I will use a lace-type draft so the finished item should be light, soft and airy.

A silk warp on the loom in various shades of red. I weave on a Louet Megado 16 shaft loom which gives me lots of pattern options.
