Warp 6

I decided to put on another warp that closely follows 1 of my other colour wraps after I was quite pleased with my last one. Tried a variety of yarns and structures to get  different weights of fabric so they can be used for different types of garments. When I took these to my individual review these are the ones Jimmy said are good to go as finals I am currently weaving them this week with the warp stripes being repeated 3 times along the width. Its made of 2 warps - one rayon and one cotton/polyester over 8 shafts. They took me so long to measure out for final samples! Think the rayon one was about 4 hours and the other one was about 10 hours :o I used gutermann threads so that the colours matched my colour wraps and technical samples exactly so i now have an abundance of empty spools that Im not sure what to do with. Any ideas?

 This is just inlaying threads but its sort of how I was hoping the scribbling would of turned out think I will just stick to this technique as I know it works.

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.
