A short reference manual on loom-controlled double weave for 4 and 8 shaft looms, written by Paul O'Connor for workshop students and others needing a quick refresher. It covers weave structures (double width, tubular, two separate layers), the six 4-shaft tieups, a step-by-step method for deriving tieups and peg plans with T/B notation, and how to separate drawdowns for the top and bottom layers. Later sections treat color-and-weave effects with DLDL and DDLL color orders, 8-shaft units and blocks, profile drafts, windows and checkerboard designs, multi-color warps, and Kathryn Wertenberger's methods for drafting double-width cloth.
