Double Rainbow Workshop Description

In this workshop, you will create the ultimate color sampler! Doubleweave combined with 6 colors of yarn to get a dazzling array of color possibilities.

You will begin by winding a warp and setting up your loom according to Jennifer’s system for working with multiple colors in a rotational sequence and bringing it to the workshop. A basic two-layered structure will enable you to mix and match your colors, creating an amazing array of color mixtures. As you weave and your warp colors move past each other you will experience a visual feast of iridescence and moire patterns (Don’t know what that means?  Don’t worry, you will by the end of the workshop!). You will also experiment with single-layered structures such as warp rep and warp-faced twills and the effects that they create on this versatile warp. Those using 8-shafts set up for two blocks will also be able explore an unlimited range of block combinations. This sampler will provide a remarkable education in color theory and how optical mixtures work in weaving, as well as a great source of inspiration for future weaving projects.

Experience Level

No prior experience in doubleweave is needed, but you must know how to warp a loom according to instructions. You will need a 4-shaft or 8-shaft table or floor loom warped according to instructions prior to the start of the class.  Not suitable for Rigid Heddle weavers.

This will be an online only workshop.  You will be weaving in your home or studio on your own loom, and Jennifer will be meeting with you via Zoom.  The workshop dates are listed below.  If they say FULL after them, there is no more room in the class:
