Was this doubleweave? It's beautiful. I've always wanted to try one of these. It's in one of the handwovens.

double weave

Yes, it is double weave. And it was also in one of the latest Handwovens, slightly different draft but similar to what I did. I got it from Kerstin Froberg's Weaving a V and it was great fun and a bit amazing to do.
