We offer weaving online video tutorials for the beginner to the advanced weaver!

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.

In this episode you will learn:
That Diversified Plain Weave (DPW) isn’t actually true plain weave.
• That DPW consists of thick and thin threads in both the warp and the weft.
• That DPW is a two-faced fabric that is very stable.
• How to draft DPW using a system introduced by Madelyn van der Hoogt in 1997.
• That the power is in the tie-up.
• That you can design in DPW using units and blocks, with a focus on two
block profiles.
• How to sett DPW.
