Tutor: Cally Booker

Saturday 9th to Monday 11th May 2026

An Exploration of Double Huck

Two layers of huck lace: what can they do? One of the happy surprises of this structure is just how appealing a double huck fabric is. From elegant scarves with beautiful drape, to towels and blankets with an irresistible ‘bounce,’ it is lovely to wear and to handle.

Participants will explore double huck through a variety of samples including layer and block exchange, stitched layers, mixed structures and colour-and-weave effects. We’ll look in depth at the structure to discover its potential for layering colour and consider how we can extend it beyond eight shafts.

About Cally

She is drawn to places at the edge, where land and water meet, and in her work explores lines and boundaries, positive and negative, using multi-layered structures which hide and reveal. She achieves this by combining digital design tools with the slow processes of hand-dyeing and hand-weaving. Cally’s work has been exhibited around the UK and internationally. She is a member of the Society of Designer Craftsmen and a past president of Complex Weavers.
