The second week of the Easter holidays was all about samples, creating weave samples using wool and PVC seeing what patterns and textures I could create. After creating and choosing a colour palette which consists of white, red, blue, lilac and orange I then started weaving, getting inspiration from my sketchbook. Here are the samples that I created, choosing a different pattern each sample.
Out of the samples that I have created I really like the ones with the triangle and squares created into the weave, using the different colours it makes it eye catching and quirky. One of the samples I created I used a pop of lime green to see the contrast, and it actually really appeals to me. It makes the sample more striking and unique and creates a perfect contrast between colours. The one factor I need to decide on, is what colour yarn I want to use for the warp of the weave, as the different colour yarn really pops out, but then I don’t know whether it might be too much, as the black yarn neutralises it a little bit.
Even more decisions to make!
Final samples are the next step once these have been solved..
