Data, Collections & Lists: Weave Week Two

During this week, I was determined to focus on creating final samples in which would reflect not only my colour pallete but also the technique I had chose to work with more in depth.

I spent the majority of the week working on the wool loom, I was really interested in working with these particular yarns because I was intrigued as to what the sample would look like after the wool had been washed.

Incorporating ribbon, selection of yarns and also elastic, I managed to create two wool woven samples in which I then washed with hot water and a little bit of shampoo to create my overall samples.

I personally preferred my woven samples before they had been washed because of the fact they shrunk massively due to the quality of the yarns I had chose to work with. However, even though my samples shrunk, the overall technique of the honeycomb was a lot more effective after being washed.
Particularly in the samples below, the elastic joined the honeycomb together more and this resulted in the samples having a lot more texture.

I didn't find the Friday Drawing very useful at all for the second week however, I hope it will come in handy when considering a new colour palette for the next three weeks when I specialise.
