Color Design: Where the Shuttle Meets the Shed
Color, design, and texture are three elements of weaving I love to explore. I’ll be teaching a weaving workshop via zoom to the Central Virginia Fiber Arts Guild later this month. I’ve finished up my last sample and I can’t wait!
Rosepath Sample Washed
About the sample, there is roughly 35% differential shrinkage as I wanted to get a textured look after washing. I’m using a space-dyed warp and variegated Tencel in the warp for 2 of the 4 warp yarns. After reflecting on the sample, I decided that the two weft yarns I selected were a little too close in color value and also - it was a bit more spring-like in coloring than I wanted for my next project. So I switched out the blue-green warp for an Autumn Green space dyed 10/2 cotton warp remnant by Kathrin Weber. To hear a bit more about the color changes, see the video I’ve posted in this blog.
