Weaving is a method of textile production in which two distinct sets of yarns or threads are interlaced at right angles to form a fabric or cloth. Other methods are knitting, crocheting, felting, and braiding or plaiting. The longitudinal threads are called the warp and the lateral threads are the weft or filling. The method in which these threads are inter-woven affects the characteristics of the cloth.Cloth is usually woven on a loom, a device that holds the warp threads in place while filling threads are woven through them. A fabric band which meets this definition of cloth (warp threads with a weft thread winding between) can also be made using other methods, including tablet weaving, back strap loom, or other techniques without looms,More info:wiki

#4 Double Weave Part 1 – How to Warp a Second Heddle,More info: kromskina

There has been a lot of talk lately about weaving with a second heddle. In this post we will explain how to set up to weave a Double Weave project. We will be making a small blanket on a 24″ Harp Forte. Our finished blanket will measure 38″x 40″ after washing . This means it will be about 45″ x 50″ before shrinking, while still on the loom. How is this possible on a loom that’s only 24″ wide?? The process is called Double Weave. It’s not as difficult as you might imagine. The cloth will be woven with a folded edge so that once the blanket it removed, we can unfold it and it will be twice the width of the warped area.

It should be noted that this may not be a good choice for the 1st time weaver. These instructions assume the reader understands and knows how to warp and weave on the rigid heddle loom.
