In Twice as Nice, I encourage you to put on a short just-for-fun warp to get started, by walking you through weaving a "Two Heddle Table Topper" that I like to call the "Big Arse Swatch." Samples and swatches need not be packed away in a dark corner. With chunky yarns, you can set up quickly for great patterning power at a scale that allows you to actually see what the threads are doing and get fast results while you build your skills. In Twice as Nice I show you warping a solid warp, and in Double Your Fun we tackle warping with two colors. In both of my new videos, I demonstrate warping two heddles using two size 5 rigid heddles. When it comes to tackling new skills, I like to go BIG. These weave structures require that you have more individual control over the threads then what a single heddle and pick-up stick can offer.Īdding a second heddle allows you to more closely imitate a floor loom, without sacrificing the benefits of rigid heddle weaving, such as portability, affordability, and knitting-yarn-friendly nature. This makes more floor loom structures available to the rigid-heddle weaver, including two very important structures-doubleweave and a simple 1/3 twill. You can weave cloth that is twice the width of your loom.You can weave a wider variety of patterns.Weaving with two heddles allows you four fundamental opportunities that aren’t available with one heddle: Advantages of Rigid-Heddle Weaving with Two Heddles For me, the answer isn’t what can I do, but why would I want to. We are insanely curious about all the possibilities available to us in weaving. His answer: You can milk a mouse, but the real question is, why do you want to? Don’t ask me why it made sense at the time. I tell this story a lot: I once asked a farmer if you could milk a pig. I'm practically salivating at the possibility of weaving doubleweave on a rigid heddle! Here's Liz herself to explain why adding that second heddle opens up a wide world of possibility.
In her videos Twice as Nice and Double Your Fun, Liz dives into more next-level techniques using two heddles and pick-up sticks, which allow you to create truly incredible fabric. I personally warped my very first rigid-heddle loom with the help of her excellent video Slots and Holes, which I highly recommend for anyone new to the rigid heddle.
