Everyone enjoyed Diane Click's Double Weave (or is it Doubleweave?) workshop. This newsletter includes a draft for Doubleweave Fins that I promised to share with you, plus a scan of some sample fabric. Unfortunately, the scan is two-dimentional. I tried turning down the corners of the fins, so you can get a feel for what the fabric looks like. I think it still needs more explanation.
The background warp is green on the left, pink on the right and blue in the middle. The fabric is plain weave. The fins are the bits that are double weave. The warp for the fins is yellow, so the only place there is a double layer of fabric is where the yellow warp is. These fins are extra flaps of fabric that are attached at their left side to the background fabric, and open on the right side. The bottom section of the sample has green weft and the fins are woven with the same picks per inch as the back ground fabric. The top section has pink weft and the fins are woven with twice as many picks per inch as the background fabric. I thought this would make the fins ruffle, but I would need many more picks per inch for the fins to make that happen. I would also need a separate warp beam for the yellow warp as the take up would be different That's why the pink sample is so short Tension issues.
Here's the path of the green we~ Start with the shuttle on the right, and press treadle 9. Throw the shuttle across the pink section and take it out of the shed. Treadle 4, and pass the shuttle to the right across the rightmost yellow fin only. Treadle 8 and pass the shuttle to the left across the yellow fin and the blue section and take the shuttle out of the shed. Treadle 2 and pass the shuttle to the right across the leftmost yellow fin only. Treadle 7 and pass the shuttle to the left across the leftmost yellow fin and across the green section. Your shuttle will now be hanging out of the left selvedge. Treadle 6 and pass the shuttle from left to right This weaves plainweave across the background fabric and ignors the fins. Repeat This makes so much more sense when you have a loom in front of you warped to this threading.
In a nutshell, if you think of the fins as standing up from the fabric, here's what you do. You weave across the background until you get to a fin. Then you go up and down the fin and then across the next bit of background. Then up and down another fin and across the fabric. Then you return across only the back of the fabric.
Happy Weaving! Berna

Tidbits and More The Perfect Towel Workshop Library Corner
Don't miss your chance to spend 3 days with Tracy Kaestner from Lone Star Loom Room to learn the finer points of weaving towels. This is a great way to spend 3 days with fellow fiber buddies and learn from a nationally known instructor.
There are 4 openings in the "Perfect Towel Workshop" with Tracy Kaestner to be held February 14, 15, & 16, 2014
The following is Tracy's description of the workshop:
What's a perfect towel? It' s a beautiful functional towel that serves your needs. After weavmg hundreds of towels Tracy has put together a handout detailing exactly what makes the perfect towel perfect! Topics covered are fiber, sett, size, structure, design and more. Tracy will share her personal collection of wonderful towels woven by ari assortment of wonderful weavers to illustrate her handout. The workshop is set up round robin style, participants will leave with samples of each towel and enough warp left to weave a full towel to keep.
**Materials fee - $50, includes the handout, drafts for all of the warps in the workshop and a kit with the yarns needed for your warp and weft. Each warp will be long enough for samples for the class plus 1 or 2 finished towels for you to keep. Each weaver will need to wind their warp and come with their loom dressed.
Maximum - 18 students
Kits - A draft, instructions and warp yarn will be provided by the instructor one month prior to the workshop.
Thanks to:
Diane Click, Jody Cosby, and Sharran Fish (one of our former members) for donating a book to our library in Kay Martin ' s memory. One of Kay' s passions in weaving was card weaving (tablet weaving). The book is a Finnish book with English translations:
Omenaisia ja Revonnenia Soumaliaisia Lautanauhoja (Appleseis and Fox Noses: Finnish Tabletwoven Bands). The instructions are clear and easy to understand. The color photographs make it easy to see how the pattern will look. Thanks again ladies. ~Joy Bergman, Librarian
As you all know by now we have to leave Mt. Dora because of renovations. Yep, that means our Library wi11 be moved again.
It is hard to find a location that will let us bring our fabulous Library into our meeting space. The Library is going to be put into a storage unit, but have no fear. I am going to have a system to pick up the books you want and bring them to the Guild meeting.
So, how do you find a book that you want if you can ' t browse the shelves? On our website go to the Members Only Page - our Library is listed there in two lists. The first list is by category. Suppose you' re looking for a book on Double Weave, just check the Double Weave category and see what we have. If you know an author you 're looking for but don ' t know the book subject, go to the Alpha/Combined listing. Everything is li sted by author in alphabetical order.
The Library has been inventoried and new lists will be on the website soon.
I will also have "Books of the Month". I will go through the Library and select books that I think you will want to check out and bring them to the meeting.
I will have a hard copy of the Library List at meetings and you can browse through it and let me know which books you want for next month. Or you can email me ([email protected]) and I will bring the books. I will let you know via email the deadline to request a book using the email method.
We are very fortunate to have such an intensive Library and we want you to use it. There are many other, larger Guilds that are envious of our Library.
It' s your Library so please take advantage of it.
If you have any questions, please email me or give me a call. Thanks,
Joy Bergman, Librarian

The Guild takes a small percentage of the cost of your item, depending on if you're a member who works the sale, doesn' t work the sale, or aren't a member. Members are required to work a 4 hour shift. There will also be a judging committee within the Sale Committee to make sure there aren' t multiples of an item by one person displayed at one time.
