School of Weaving Kit - s10e05 Cannele

Things we will learn:

• Cannelé is considered to be a distorted weft structure.
• Cannelé is considered to be a distorted weft structure.
  The Cannelé curves are created by framing the units (cells) with a
  heavy weft thread. The tie-down warps only lightly hold the curves ni
  place, allowing the heavy weft thread to shift towards the centre of the warp floats.
• Weft floats only appear on the "top" surface, warp floats appear on both surfaces -the "top" and the "bottom".
• The length of the floats in the weft depends on the distance between the warp floats.
