Well as you might be able to tell from the post-it notes on these samples I decided to keep track of which structures I was using as I am weaving. As even from cutting it off to bondawebbing it and putting it in my sketchbook I seem to forget and then have to work it out when trying to write my technical notes next to each one - much easier this way.
So I decided to go for it and do what my tutor suggested of following my colour wraps exactly. I must say I really enjoyed measuring this warp out even though it took me ages because I had to keep changing colour every couple of loops would take me the guts of a whole day I reckon if I decide to do this as a final sample. Just tried out a few different structures to see which sat best with each other and which showed off the colours in the warp the best. The rayon is over 8 shafts and the cotton/floss I mixed together is on another 8 shafts. I was dying to try more of my other colour wraps as soon as I finished this one.
Also tried using the same colours in the weft as I had in the warp but it ended up looking a bit too bright and summery which wasn't what I was looking for.
