School of Weaving Kit – s02e10 Primaries and Secondaries

Things we will learn:

• the power of a black background
• how black keeps other colours clear
• how the balance of colour changes in twills because we see more of each colour due to the float length
• how colour and weave patterns appear in twills when we alternate colours in the warp and weft
• we have been developing our technique to control our beater throughout this whole workshop and now we will use this control to weave twill and plain weave at the same sett
