Having experimented with double weave using 2 different weave structures in some previous projects (Swedish lace and twill, huck lace and plain weave) my mind turned to networking double weave. This would produce a cloth where rather than the two distinct fabrics changing place instantly, a gradual transition would occur. Some research revealed that this technique is already being explored notably by Alice Schein and Paul O'Connor amongst others. I had seen a recent project by Eva Stossel but hadn't really appreciated ( despite the title) that this is exactly what she was doing.
This paper by Paul O'Connor attempts to explain what is going on. It is rather mind blowing and I am already thinking about possibilities for my next weave!
