See the course.

Learn two-heddle weaving with plain weave, simple patterns, pick-up patterns, and twill. Jane weaves a sampler with Brown Sheep Nature Spun Sport and finishes it into a fulled scarf.

What you'll learn:

• Indirect warping with a warp chain
• Threading two heddles
• Weaving plain weave with two heddles
• Weaving simple patterns and pick-up patterns with two heddles
• Weaving twill with two heddles, a heddle rod, and heddles

What you'll need:

• Flip rigid heddle loom with two 5-dent heddles—Jane weaves an 8" wide project on a 15" Flip
• heddle hook (included with loom)
• 4-1/2 yard warping board
• tapestry needle
• two 12" stick shuttles—if your Flip came with longer shuttles, get this size (just slightly wider than the project)
• two 20" Schacht Beefy pick-up sticks
• heddle rod: Jane uses the third apron bar that's included with the Flip; you can substitute a 3/16" dowel, at least 10" long
• heddles: use our 8-5/8" Texsolv heddles or make your own string heddles

You're ready for this class if you can warp a rigid heddle loom and weave with one heddle.
