slide pick up stick A forward and turn
on side to create shed 1 of the top
layer.

up stick A to the back.
3.
Create shed 2 of the top layer with
front reed up.
4.
Weave one pick of white.
6.
Continue across row (check that the
number of ends will make equal-sized
bunches).
7.
When there are 6 ends left use the
shuttle to pick up 4 ends and take the
shuttle around the 4 and under the 2
ends to finish the row.
8.
Weave 4 more picks bottom and top
layers.
9.
Join the two layers (see above).

Two Layered Weaving
- It is easy to create two separate layers of cloth at the same time.
Brooks Bouquet
- The beautiful lace of Brooks Bouquet is enhanced by the black second layer backing cloth.
Hint: When weaving two separate
layers do not go around the alternate
weft thread.
To join the layers
at anytime place the
back reed up and weave one pick of
either black or white.
Bottom layer
The bottom layer is black warp and
weft.
1.
With both reeds in the rest position,
slide pick up stick B forward and turn
on side to create shed 1 of bottom
layer.
2.
Weave one pick of black. Slide pick
up stick B to the back.
3.
Create shed 2 of bottom layer with
back reed down.
4.
Weave one pick of black.
Repeat weaving one top layer one
bottom layer until weaving reaches the
desired length.
To make a Shuttle holder wall hanging
weave sections as in diagram below:
Secure top end with hemstitch or
machine zigzag stitch. Do a twisted
fringe at the beginning of the weaving,
which will become the bottom of the
hanging. Handwash in warm water.
Lay flat to dry. Fold top over 3cm (1½”)
stitch down to make pocket to insert
hanging needle.
1.
Weave 4 picks on the bottom black
layer and four picks top white layer
(see instructions above).
2.
Weave 4 more picks on the bottom
black layer.
3.
Place both reeds in the rest position
and slide pick up stick A forward and
turn on side.
4.
Slide the shuttle with the white yarn
under the first 6 ends and back over
and around the last 4 ends and pull
the yarn to make a “bunch”.
5.
Pick up the next 4 ends with the
shuttle and take it back over and
around these 4 ends and under the
next 4 (you will be going under 8
ends).
Hint:
Use your fingers to adjust the
“bouquets” so they are level.
