School of Weaving Kit - s02e08 Muted Colour Gamp

This is the first of two colour gamps in this workshop. Don’t let the word “muted” fool you - we take this warp and bring brilliance to the muted warp colours by overlaying all those bright colours from the other samples you have woven so far. You will have so much fun doing this.

Things you will learn:

• arranging muted versions of the primary and secondary colour wheel in a gradation from light to dark,
• laying them all on a natural back ground,
• weaving the colours solid on solid and alternating on alternating,
• bringing the loud members of the family to the party to brighten things up,
• working with textured weft yarns.
