I ran out of the magenta yarn I was using for background color so I used hot pink for one section. Seeing how it wove up, I will use stripes of different colors for the next warp and designate the handpainted warp as my background. I don't feel this threading showcased the beauty of the handpainted warp to it fullest. Overall I am happy with the project, just seeing new ideas for the next weaving.
the draft was for a rug but I am seeing this as a tote bag or possibly a table runner due to the density of the fabric.
I do love doing painted warps myself, and I like yours. Your complementary color scheme is really set off by that hit of yellow/orange. Unexpected. In fact it's close to being a triad. Whatever the color theory, or even better intuitive :) Very nice. Did you use Procion?
I ordered these warps from Kathrin Webber at Blazing Shuttles. Dying is not my thing. She does fabulous work. I have a blue-green warp also. Thinking of putting purple-black with that one. These were perle cotton, she also does chenille, rayon, silk. Prices are very reasonable. This warp was 5 yds.
Hey, if you don't like it, I will take it! I think it is fantastic.
That's interesting. Can't wait to see how you weave up the next one, be sure to post :)
Beautiful work! I can't wait to try that soon!
