My foray into weaving is leading me astray, initially, I was disappointed that I had bought a rigid heddle loom, but no longer it's a great tool. I have moved it on to a double heddle a few minor adaptations and been able to weave a double-width piece of fabric - here is my first experiment - the bug has bitten Here is the adapted loom showing the single width  And here is the fabric as a double width - magic :-)  |

It looks great  Not being a weaver though, what does all that actually mean? |

well it's all a bit esoteric to me too, I just watched a video and followed the instructions and hey presto this appeared :-)

Great stuff Carole. So does the extra heddle make it a tubular double width?
What width is your loom?

Yes, it can be tubular or just double width, my loom is 20" so I should be able to make a piece of fabric 40" you end up weaving above and below within a structure of four. I followed Liz Gipson's video.
