Episode 6: Double-Decker Weaving (with Jennifer Moore)
This episode we tackle one of my favorite weaving structures: Doubleweave. We talk to talented weaver, Jennifer Moore, about her career specializing in doubleweave pick-up. I describe weaving double-width woolen fabric for a vest. In keeping with a double-themed show, we have a second interview: Miranda Hofmann, managing partner of Lakeside Fibers, a weaving supplies shop in Madison, Wisconsin talks about her store and weaving groups in Wisconsin. Finally, we end things up with "Double-Decker Weaving" an audio essay about how building a deck can improve your weaving.

I loved the deck story. If you can build a whole deck from scratch, I can get off my butt and finish stacking this year's firewood. Right?
I also love the Harrisville yarn. I recently knit a hat out of it, from yarn that was originally coned. I washed the yarn first, and it bloomed and changed character in the most pleasant way after it was washed. I'd definitely recommend it for knitters, as well as weavers.
Have you ever been to Harrisville Designs? I live about half an hour from there. Just walking inside is an inspiration, with all of the books, yarn, looms, and spinning stuff. If you haven't already been there, I'm sure you'd enjoy visiting it if you ever found yourself near southern New Hampshire.
LOL. I dunno, I haven't stacked this year's firewood. It's a daunting task!
I just read in the most recent Webs catalog that Harrisville is spun with some of the grease/lanolin left in, which is why is blossoms so much when it's washed.
I have not yet had the pleasure of going to Harrisville. Living in the Seattle area, I don't get out that way too often. But if I do, I'll certainly check it out.
Thanks for the great comment!
