The doubling stand, is used to combine two strands of yarn together,
specifically for use in the weft. This concept was borrowed from the spinning
craft and adapted for use by weavers. Combining yarns together can produce
some interesting effects in weaving. Combining two yarns of different colors
will produce a multi-color, variegated weft. This can be used in an overall
weave or in stripes to produce an interesting effect. Two thin yarns may be
combined to produce a thicker yarn. The interesting and unique effects of
using combined yarns is limited only by the imagination of the weaver. The
Doubling Stand is handcrafted and has a satin finish. It is available in YOUR
CHOICE of maple, oak, cherry, mahogany, or walnut. |
