Four Color Double Weave Shawl
|
uploaded: 08/22/10
|
|
After reading about Four Color Doubleweave in an article by Margarite Gingras in the Complex Weavers Journal, I just had to try my hand at this interesting technique. The result is this shawl - warp is black and indigo blue and weft is Sunkist Orange orange and salmon red (hand dyed). Copyright 2009, Su Butler

This is the fabric on the loom, which was used for my contribution to the Complex Weavers Fine Threads Study group for the 2003-04 exchange. It is woven of silk and soy protein fiber. Very soft and yummy!

Here is a taste of the scarf woven on the hand dyed warp that was last on the loom. With 16 yards of warp I wove a variety of scarves in various colors, materials and patterns. Copyright Su Butler, 2003

Collapse weave
|
uploaded: 10/16/02
|
|
This collapse was done by using a very fine wool warp in conjunction with Rayon chenille, coupled with a very strong silk buttonhole warp in stripes. The weft was woven in the same wool very loosely packed and the silk woven in twill, very tightly packed. With Wet finishing, the wool felted, the chenille went along for the ride, and the silk remained in "poofs" on the surface. The finished piece is very soft and supple.

Flower Garden
|
uploaded: 05/03/02

|
Designed and woven for a sample exchange for the Complex Weavers Tied Weaves Study group, which I coordiante, in May 2002.
Spring was slow in coming this year despite 90 degree temps in April, so I wove my own flower garden. Created to be cut into samples, there are small areas of plain weave between motifs which would not appear if woven as one continuous fabric.
