Boundweave and Krokbragd – The Weft Faced Twills

Instructor: Tom Knisely

Students will make a Boundweave sampler, approximately 12’’ x 30” suitable for a table runner or wall hanging.  The sampler will explore weaving on opposites, 3 and 4 color rotations and more. Then simply by changing the tie-up, we’ll explore Krokbragd. You’ll learn how to design Krokbragd on a 3-shaft point twill.
