The CW Tied-Weaves group was formed in October, 2000 for weavers of Intermediate to Master skill levels to explore Tied-Weave and Tied-Unit weave structures. The broad study group goal is to better understand, create and define Tied-Weave structures, as well as create variants and methods to "break the rules". Each member will explore any Tied-Weave structure of interest.

Definition of Tied-Weaves- This group uses the definition by Irene Emery as a basis of study: "when the structures of two complete weaves are integrated, that is completely interwoven, in one fabric. Each set of warps has a companion weft set with which it interweaves in a regular weave order, but the weave structures are not separate, as in double cloth."

Mandatory sample and information exchange are in May of each year.

On-line discussions and a private website for sharing photos, drafts and other visual information are in place. Members can share their questions, ideas, drafts and photos, enhancing our on-line study. All newsletters and correspondence, with the exception of the yearly sample exchange and accompanying write-ups, will be done via email.
