Supplementary weft technique in weaving with Alice Aranha

The supplementary weft technique consists of using a structural weft thread, usually finer, interspersed with an additional supplementary weft thread, which is normally thicker. While the finer thread provides the structure of the fabric, the supplementary weft thread is used to create patterns or motifs that stand out on the textile.

This online course aims to clearly explain all the stages required for a good understanding of this technique, namely:

• Introduction
• Warp calculation
• Winding the warp
• Dressing the loom
• Beaming the warp
• Weaving
• Supplementary weft
• Removing the fabric from the loom and finishing
