Expert Danish weaver, Lotte Dalgaard, came to give a masterclass on collapse weave at Anna Champeney Textile Studio in Galicia, north Spain, in September 2010. 7 professional Spanish weavers came together to learn special techniques for using high twist, elastic and other very fine active yarns, in combination with so-called stable yarns (like cotton, superwash wool or linen) to make the fabulous pleated, folded and crinkled textiles that Lotte weaves into one-off, loom-shaped garments.
