End of financial year is a terribly busy time for me, so I have been a little quiet on the channel and the website of late. I apologise, but I hope I will be able to make up for it with this video and blog post. The Rigid Heddle loom can easily support 3 shaft weaving, and one of the most beautiful in my opinion is a 2/1 twill. Understanding how, however, can take a bit to get your head around. So, I have created this video to help. You can watch it here https://youtu.be/r75I8EKuzt4. There is 2 parts, and the second part will be published next week. This video is all about understanding the weave structure, but also, how to plan projects using 2/1 twill, on Iweaveit, the software i use. Also, whilst planning this I had the BEST idea. I could plan and design this years towel series using 2/1 twill!. So exciting. Anyway, hope you are well! and please let me know what you think of the video. TTFN!
