The Double Harness Study Group is for weavers with an interest in weaving damask and double harness/drawloom weaving. Members vary widely in the ability and experience, from very experienced to those who do not yet have a drawloom, and all levels in-between.

Newsletters are published two or three times a year. All dues expire in November; the annual membership roster lists membership expiry dates. Group dues may be prepaid for two or more years and should be sent to the Chair.

Members are encouraged to contribute articles, photos, drafts, or simply news of their weaving and studies. Questions about weaving and using double harness looms are always welcome. No drawloom experience is required, nor is ownership of a drawloom. Questions or contributions for newsletters may be sent to the Chair by email (or contact the chair for the postal address).

In addition to the newsletter, members have contact with each other on a private Yahoo! Site (required) where they can share their current weaving and ask for help/advice. Anyone interested in this group, please contact the Chair, at the address above.

The group is beginning work on a monograph, "Double Harness 101", a compilation of information on basic double harness weaving for the beginning drawloom weaver. Membership dues will be used toward publication costs of the monograph, and any special mailings.
