Episode 5 is another Double Weave episode taught by Jane and is from one of her favourite workshops, Inspiration from the Sari. For years you have been seeing an amazing red Sari hanging on the back wall of the studio to the left of the blackboards. That Sari has sequins woven into little pockets and Jamdani inlay woven on a 3” grid. This is created on threading that also allows you to weave Turned Twill….so you’ll get more on that amazing structure too. This is an 8-shaft episode.

We have online weaving lessons for the beginner and the advanced weaver!

Things you will learn:
-How to weave pockets that can be stuffed (or not) that are framed with plain weave.
-That when making a pocket that is see-through, we don’t double the density of the warp.
-How to easily insert sequins.
-How Saris are often woven with warp predominant selvedges to strengthen them.
-How to sley the first few dents of the selvedges so it’s not fussy to weave.
-How to look at the threading and determine other ways of weaving it, in this case Turned Twill.
