Current Weaving Project

And so it begins! I've been experimenting with color and structure weavings for my studio work and for this project I wanted to see what kind would happen if I dyed the warp leaving it in a chain.  The warp is made of 8/2 tencel at 24 epi. It's 11yrds long consisting of 5 pieces.


 After taking it off the warping mill I boiled the chain just to make sure I had a good resist.


 
 I made a bunch of colors while the chain was boiling and soaking in soda ash.


 
 Oh look it's me!


 
Looks like the chain might be a little too tight. There's a chance there might be more white on the warp than I originally intended it to be.  We'll see what happens...
