Season 9 Episode 3 - Diversified Plain Weave presented by Rebecca Logan
Diversified Plain Weave is a structure I had never woven before, so when Rebecca Logan proposed we do an episode on it, I leapt at the opportunity. You are going to love it! Rebecca has done a fabulous job researching and creating 4 shaft and 8 shaft projects that have resulted in the most beautifully drapey fabric using our wonderful Organic Cloud Cotton paired with 16/2 cotton...in any colour your little heart desires.
DPW is a block weave, so you can use any block profile you have ever created. It uses 2 weights of yarn in the warp, 2 thins and 1 thick. The fabric is completely reversible, and the graphic possibilities are mind-blowing. Tiny changes to the tie-up result in dramatic graphic changes to the cloth on both 4 and 8 shafts.
The Dream Team pulled out all the stops and interpreted Rebecca's lesson using different yarn combinations and block profiles......this Show and Tell will blow your socks off, so you better be wearing shoes when you watch. 🤣
So, brew yourself up a cup of tea and prepare to be amazed.
