Weaving scarves

Using the jacquard I designed and woven this set of scarfs. In white, pink and blue, with a sewn edge to stop fraying too much. I wanted a different design than what others were creating for our fund raising at university.
I wanted something, suited for a younger target, and lent towards a 'girlish' design. But not out right pink and in your face.  I wanted something fun and didn't think out colour palettes would work, as well as this pale pink and blue palette. I did think of yellow, of green, and I did think of purple with pink too. But I didn't like it, and I found yarns but none that worked together.

I loved how this came out when woven and washed. I am really proud of the results. The design is simple, but effective and brings together the different elements.

Jacquard Warp

New Jacquard Warp, hopefully ready for Tuesday 5th May.

It will be a  black and white warp, like the one I used at the beginning of the year to create my first few Jacquard samples. This means more contrast in my work and the need to use black and white in the warp, meaning it has to be used in my designs.

This could be a good thing for my woven pattern pieces - for other samples this might not be as advantageous. Especially for samples of just weave patterns in sections as the black will need to be incorporated. Though this could produce some really good ideas and designs.
But I'm going to be happy when I can start weaving again.


This will be my last push for samples and designs.
