Season 8 - Double The Fun
In Season 8, we’ll be delving further into M’s & O’s and Huck, the Powell method of drafting Shadow Weave, a great introduction to Deflected Double Weave, Block Double Weave, and Double Faced Twills on 4 and 8 shafts for most episodes. We’ll be doubling our fun by looking at structures on 4 shafts and taking them to 8 shafts.
