MultiWeave —  A Way to Weave

Sculptural forms

Adjusting warp density and creating areas of weft loops

Same warp, same material. Changing warp density with Stepping Reed

Woven scales

Pushing warps aside, to make gaps in fabric

Reedless weaving allows the weaver to play with warp density. Here is one way to do it.

Erna Janine is organizing an exhibition in Craft Central, London. We are preparing.

Marilyn cut off her first "Flooded forest" piece. She uses black linen as weft.

56 ends of cotton warp per one RailReed module and 16 ends between the modules. Warp groups that change their position create "RailReed calligraphy"

Inspired by Erna Janine and Saori weavers who use reedless weaving, I tried it out too.
