This post is of photos of drawloom or double harness weavings, all but two taken during the Sept. 17-21, 2012 Drawloom Basics class I attended at VavStuga. These photos are posted here with the knowledge and permission of VavStuga, and my thanks to them for sharing these and so many more examples with their students, and allowing me to share a few of them here.

We were shown so many other examples of double harness weavings, and I wish I had photos of all of them. (Any errors in identifying the types of weaving shown here are mine.) So, now it's time to learn more and begin weaving my own.
