    I’m trying to find more information on double weaving – saddle blanket – with little diamonds. I can assemble the loom and done a basic wide ruin design but I’m more interested in the saddle blanket loom. Contact me.

    Betty, the loom for a double weave is the same as it is for a Wide Ruins design except that you use three pull sheds instead of just one. The warp threads have to be a little closer. There are two books that have instructions on this, Mary Pendleton’s Navajo and Hopi Weaving Techniques and Noel Bennett and Tiana Bighorse’s Designing with the Wool. I am away from my reference books right now, so I can’t give you more information immediately, but I’ll be able to give you more information next week. I have copied other weavers on this reply and they may be able to give you information sooner than I’m able to right now.
