At this point in her life, designer Melanie Smith weaves on a 32-inch Ashford rigid-heddle loom armed with a double-heddle block.
She loves dish towels and adores twills, but wanted something more than a simple point or straight draw. She wanted the look of four shafts, but on only three shafts. You can imagine how excited she was when she found she could create interesting designs by alternating point, straight, and rosepath threadings and treadlings. In fact, she was amazed at how complicated her designs could get with only three shafts!
