Daldräll is the Swedish term for North American Overshot weaving patterns. This class is a must for any weaver who is enamored with this beautiful patterning which may be found in coverlets, tablecloths, runners, etc. Susan has woven kilometers of this patterning and would love to share some very important ins and outs to execute a beautiful runner.
The runner has a Bockens 16/2 Cotton warp in natural (unbleached, #0000); Bockens 16/1 Line Linen (golden, #0005) for ground/tabby and weaver's choice of 16/1 Line Linen (dyed), which is doubled for pattern wefts. Width of the runner is approximately 12.50" and the length is determined by the weaver's skill level. All the treadling is on the same tie-up but if desired, the weaver may change the tie-up for different patterning effects.
This is a 3-day course with plenty of classroom time to explore:
