Weave preparation

Weave definitely has its own pace- after preparing our warp yarns, we then had to learn how to thread up and 'dress' the loom before we could begin making. 

It was so exciting to start our first sample after all the anticipation! It feels very satisfying to actually be creating your own fabric- it seems like there are endless ways to change the structure of the weave and manipulate it. As we're sharing looms with a partner, its also quite interesting to see how Mary's blue and beige colours sit next to my pink and orange. The blue creates quite a striking contrast to my warp when added in along the weft, so it should be fun to play around with this when we get chance to experiment individually.
