What Is Double Loop Lacing?

Double loop lacing is a hand-lacing technique that weaves two loops through each hole, creating a strong, slightly raised edge. It’s more decorative than a basic whipstitch and ideal for projects where you want a clean, finished look that also holds up over time.

Tips for Best Results

• Keep your tension consistent to avoid uneven loops

• Slightly dampen the lace to prevent twisting and make it more flexible

• Practice on scrap leather before moving on to your final piece

Why It’s Worth Learning

Double loop lacing is one of those timeless techniques that instantly upgrades the look of any leather project. It’s durable, visually appealing, and easy to learn with a little practice. Once you get the hang of it, it becomes a go-to for finishing edges with style.
