Explore a parallel universe of possibilities in weaving! Parallel threadings are incredibly versatile and can be used to weave a variety of structures including echo weave twills, four color doubleweave, and polychrome turned taquete. Create vibrant colorways, echoes and iridescence by using two or more colors in the warp. Weave
