See how tapestry weaving works in this short video. Nadia Yaron demonstrates three types of tapestry joins in her Brooklyn storefront studio, Nightwood. What differentiates tapestry weaving from plain weaving is that in a tapestry, the weaver changes weft threads at will as she weaves them across the piece. By doing this, she can create patterns and images on the surface of the weaving. This tapestry took about 12 hours total to weave. About this series: Design Dictionary is a new Cooper Hewitt

Tapestry weaving and the weaving of patterns like twills are all possible on one of our new large frame looms. The attachable heddle brackets and rods create a good shed for speedy weaving. All our weaving kits are available in our TabbyandTweed website shop for UK delivery and our TabbyandTweed Etsy shop for delivery elsewhere. #weavingloom #frameloom #weavingkit | TabbyandTweed
