There is something fascinating about double cloth, isn’t there? To weave at all is amazing, and to weave two layers at the same time feels like magic!
In this class we will be working on four shafts to dive deep into the potential of those two layers. We’ll create pattern, pockets, tubes and more pattern, as we consider the practical and decorative applications of double cloth fabric.
Appropriate for weavers who use four shafts or more. Students should be able to read a draft and warp their loom. No previous experience of double weave is required. Full instructions will be provided to enable students to prepare their loom before the workshop starts.
Countermarche loom weavers: please note that you will need to have eight treadles in order to access all the options for four-shaft double cloth.
ABout Cally
Cally Booker lives and weaves in Dundee on the east coast of Scotland. She is drawn to places at the edge, where land and water meet, and in her work explores lines and boundaries, positive and negative, using multi-layered structures which hide and reveal. She achieves this by combining digital design tools with the slow processes of hand-dyeing and hand-weaving.
Cally’s work has been exhibited around the UK and internationally. In 2026 her first book, Designing and Weaving Double Cloth, was published by Crowood Press. She is a member of the Society of Designer Craftsmen and a past president of Complex Weavers.
