Press : JHTTextiles On Local Television
In January, I was contacted by the producer of L’Infiltré and asked if they could come and film me in my workroom. The video is in French but you should get the idea from the filming.
Designing…or trying to
Who knows how it will turn out, but I thought I’d give you an idea of the start and end points of one of my design. This process took place over three days. I started with an idea, changed the colours, changed the design, took time to think and reflect then finally..
Warping – A Quick Look
Recently, I have had a few questions from newer weavers about the equipment I use for warping. So I have prepared a brief overview with photos. I hope you find it useful.
Deflected Double Weave
Marian Stubenitsky has a lifetime of weaving behind her and a remarkable way of exploring and working with colour. I am an avid follower of her work and have all of her books in my weaving library.
In The Pink
Usually my warps are 100% pure silk, but this time I’m using pink cashmere/silk yarn that I bought last year. I will use a lace-type draft so the finished item should be light, soft and airy.
On The Loom
Last week I started weaving a very simple blue silk shawl. It is only one colour but using a block twill creates squares all the way down. Hard to take a good photo, but you can see what I mean.
Just A Glimpse
In my previous post I promised you a glimpse of the silk scarves inspired by my autumn walk. So here it is.
Autumn Walk Inspiration
I put out all my reels of blue and green ready to create two silk scarves. Then, I went for a walk and took a photo of the lake. It’s amazing how similar the colours of the silk are to the photo.
Reds In Autumn
A silk warp on the loom in various shades of red. I weave on a Louet Megado 16 shaft loom which gives me lots of pattern options.
