Workshop notes by Paul O'Connor on double weave for an eight-shaft loom, continuing from a four-shaft double weave program. They explain warp units, blocks and profile drafts, then the window and checkerboard designs with threadings, tieups and treadling, followed by color-planning exercises. Further sections cover skeleton tieups for 10- and 12-treadle looms, twill structures (1/3, 3/1 and 2/2) in double-width cloth, and four-layer multilayer weaving, ending with an analysis of a Kay Sekimachi monofilament hanging.
