I hope you’re all doing well and are excited to begin our Lace journey. Canvas weave is a great place to start this study and you’ll be amazed at how many different effects are possible. I wove the sampler in beautiful Venne 16/2 organic linen and played with different treadling and colour and weave sequences. As usual, I got carried away and wove 21 different variations on the warp. The PDF that accompanies this episode provides you with the opportunity to do a drawdown of the 3 different tie-ups I used to create Lace, Weft floats and Warp floats.
So much fun 🙂
Things we will learn in Episode 2:
-How Canvas Weave grows out of Basket Weave
-That it has radiating double lines in the warp and weft coming out of the lace
-That we need floating selvedges to allow the 2 picks in one shed
-That we can use a tie-down thread to repeat units
-That we can weave it in weft floats and warp floats

Jane goes through what we will learn with Laces in this Season.
We learn how Canvas Weave is designed as Jane draws it out at the blackboard.
Drawdowns are another way for us to learn about Canvas Weave. You'll see how the warp & weft floats develop.
We have a look at the sampler that you will weave. Jane wove 21 different samples all done differently!
