Hi Weavers!
Weaving double width is one of those weaving techniques that can seem like some kind of sorcery to a new weaver.
It can be both very exciting and extremely daunting, all at the same time!
I remember how overjoyed I was early in my weaving journey to discover that my 24″ rigid heddle loom was actually capable of weaving fabric twice as wide. Wow, what a revelation!
With two heddles of the same size and two pick up sticks, you too can weave cloth double width.
Although weaving double width can be a challenge, I believe it is very achievable with the right tools and knowledge. And practice, of course!
Over the past few years, I’ve heard all of the common problems that students run into when attempting this technique. I’ve run into most of them myself at some point too.
So, today I want to give you my best tips for successful double weaving to help you have the best experience and hopefully avoid some common frustrations.

I LOVE THIS TOOL
As I've been working on my handwoven quilt project I have found this tool so useful.
Sandy sent me That Purple Thang some time ago and I use it now more than ever when sewing my handwoven fabric.
I have a little demonstration of one of the ways I use it here if you're curious.
