Weaving

I am really pleased with how my dip dyed warp is weaving and enjoying working with the colours I have chosen. I found that choosing the weft takes quite a bit of thinking about because the colours are very different; what goes with the coral colour may not work so well with the blue-green colour. I have used more muted colours so far but would like to try a much brighter bear when the right section of warp comes up.

When I weave a warp like this I plan a few ideas in terms of structures and weft threads but I also take each section as it comes. Each section is different and as I approach it and see it on the loom I then make a decision about what weft yarn and structure would suit that particular part of my warp.
