School of Weaving Kit - s03e09 Supplementary Warp and Weft Teal and Sage

This episode continues to build on everything we have done so far this year. 

Our yarn this time around is a very fine bamboo and an 18/2 Merino with two colour options to choose from. The supplementary warp threads are interspersed within our ground warp in 5 stripes. As always you’ll be given a gazillion things to play with and explore. In the end we have the option of taking this fabric to the sink to give it a heavy fulling and create yet another layer…this time collapsing it.

This is the final sample from this Season and I’m sure you will not be disappointed.

Things you will learn:

• how to overlay the idea of collapse weave on supplementary warps
• how to thread supplementary warps a new way
• how to weave with fine bamboo at a very open sett
• how to introduce the idea of supplementary weft
• how to create 2 completely different sides on a 4 shaft fabric
