So, if you’re thinking about diving into it, all this background information will help.

What is Diamond Weave?

I have an introductory page about Diamond Weave technique, which you can find here. So, I’m just going to condense that into a brief paragraph here.

Diamond Weave is a bead-weaving technique. That means, you will be stitching seed beads together, using beading needle and beading thread. You can use traditional seed beads (rocailles and delicas) and also beads like firepolish, pearls, crystals.

The stitch was developed by Gerlinde Lenz. It looks a little like Right Angle Weave, at first glance. But don’t be fooled! The thread path is completely different. I would say, it feels easier and more rhythmical.

The fabric it creates is lovely and flexible. So, it can drape like material and it is perfect for creating jewellery.

You have a lot of different variations in the stitch, all of which are covered in the Diamond Weave book.
