Double Heddle Weaving - What is it?Double Heddle Weaving will allow you to weave extra patterns using your rigid heddle loom. Not only that but it will also mean you can weave double the width of your loom. So if you have a 32" loom you can weave 64" cloth - imagine the things you can create with fabric that size, it opens a whole new world!
Double Heddle weaving isn't necessarily complicated but it can take a bit of getting your head around it so if you like to learn with support, this workshop will be great for you.
What do I need to bring?
Ideally you will have your own rigid heddle loom and two heddles with the same dpi. We normally work with sock yarn and we'd like you to work with colours you like so two 10dpi heddles (which is suitable for sock yarn) is great.
We do have a small selection of looms you can borrow but it's a first come first served situation so bear that in mind. Also, if you have your own loom you can warp up and then not have to cut your work at the end of the workshop, you can just take your loom home and carry on.
Is this course suitable for beginners?
No, this definitely isn't. You will need to have a basic understanding of how a loom works and be comfortable with weaving. If you want to build up your confidence then take a look at our Two Day Rigid Heddle Weaving course which will take you through everything you need to know.
What else do I need to know?
The workshop will be held at Luna Meeting Room, behind Ryde Cafe in the Northern Lights Building, 5 Mann Street, Liverpool, L8 5AF, part of Cains Brewery Village
We start at 10am till 4pm each day. We will provide teas, coffees and biscuits. Lunch isn't included but Ryde is a brilliant cafe providing veggie and vegan options. The staff are lovely and will point you in the right direction if you're looking lost
There is a car park right outside the venue, it's £5 for the day
