Catenpile Technique Tutorial

The rigid-heddle weaving journey often begins with plain weave. Later, many weavers discover that twills, overshot, waffle weave, leno, and even lace are possible with clever manipulations using pick-up sticks, multiple heddles, and other tools. Now you can add another technique to your bag of tricks, one that doesn’t aim to mimic multi-shaft designs. Jessica Lambert invented a technique she calls catenpile, and it is now a favorite way to weave on a rigid-heddle loom.

Use this techniuque as you weave Jessica's Arabesque Runner (also available in the library).
