Dubbelbindning Rug (new for 2009!)
Design and weave a beautiful small rug in this technique, either in wool yarn or in cotton rags on a linen warp. This weave uses two blocks, and has opposite colors on the backside. Samitum is another name for this technique. Warps will be pre-wound onto the looms before class. Each student will thread and tie up a loom for weaving. Students are welcome to stay an optional third day without instruction, to complete the weaving of their rug.
Two-day session
