Weaving narrow bands with a double holed heddle

See my blog at  http://durhamweaver64.blogspot.co.uk/

This video shows the weaving of narrow bands with a supplementary warp threaded through a second row of holes in the heddle.  This structure is typical of Sami bands from Arvidsjaur, Arjeplog and Mala in Sweden.  The Ajtte, the Swedish Mountain and Sami museum in Jokkmokk has a fascinating collection of woven bands.
The video is part of an online tutorial organised by The Braid Society  www.braidsociety.com
The beautiful wooden bird heddle is available from http://www.vavkompaniet.se/
