More samples

I've finished the last of the warp now. Here's a small selection of what came off it:

Jag har avslutat det sista av varpen nu. Här är ett urval av vad det blev av den:

Woven sample - orange and red

The combination of linen and silk is just fantastic.

Woven sample - grey

Grey wool weft.

Woven sample - red

Red cotton weft.

Woven sample - colors

Color testing.

the future

I have big plans for this project. From the beginning the plan was to make several different fabrics from the same warp, threading and tie-up. That's still the plan, although I think I would like to use one red and one blue warp, and also one more threading.

Jag har stora planer för det här projektet. Från början var planen att göra flera olika tyger från samma varp, solvning och uppknytning. Det är fortfarande planen, men jag tror att jag vill använda en röd och en blå varp, och även en till solvning.

Now, when I'll get, let's say, four or five different fabrics that are slightly similar, but still different, why not make something of them that also are connected? So that's what I'll do, design a collection of clothes that'll use those fabrics (and other fabrics to). It works well with other assignments I'm working on too.

När jag nu kommer att få, t ex fyra eller fem, olika tyger som är lite lika, men ändå olika, varför inte göra nått av dem som är sammanhängande? Så det kommer jag att göra, jag ska designa en kollektion med kläder med de tygerna (och andra också). Det kommer att passa bra med andra uppgifter som jag också arbetar med.

The next step will be to think of what clothes to make, and the color and pattern of the fabrics for the clothes. When that's more clear, I weave a few more samples. That'll happen in a couple of weeks.

Nästa steg blir att tänka på vilka kläder jag ska göra, och färgen och mönstren på tygerna till kläderna. När det är mer fädigt ska jag väva mer prover. Det kommer att ske om ett par veckor.

Color testing

I love all the complicated and interesting pattern you can make with weaving, but I think that the best part about weaving has to be the amazing colors that you get when you mix different weft and warp colors.

Jag älskar de komplicerade och intressanta mönster som man kan skapa med vävning, men jag tror att det bästa med vävning måste vara de fantastiska färger som man får när man blandar olika varp och inslags färger.

Back to weaving

Remember the woven samples I posted about a few weeks ago? I did weave some more after that.

Kommer du ihåg vävproverna jag visade för några veckor sen? Jag vävde faktiskt lite mer efter det.

Handwoven sample

Linen weft. So cool.

Handwoven sample

Pale blue cashmere weft.

Handwoven sample

Red cotton weft.

Tomorrow I'll weave even more.

Imorgon ska jag väva lite mer.

Something has been woven

The first samples have been made. It looks promising, but not perfect.

De första proverna är gjorda. De ser lovande ut, men inte perfekt.

Weave draft

Woven sample with red cotton yarn as weft

Here the weft is a cotton yarn.

Woven sample with linen weft

A one plyed linen yarn used as weft.

Woven sample with cashmere weft

A cashmere knitting yarn as weft.

Woven sample grey with wool weft

The weft is the same wool yarn as the warp in the Weavezine skirt.

The warp is a silk yarn nm 24/2. The sett here is 8 ends per centimeter. Right now I'm trying 10 ends per centimeter.

Varpen är ett sidengarn nm 24/2. Varptätheten är 8 trådar per centimeter. Just nu provar jag 10 trådar per centimeter.

The warp is on the loom

The warp and the reed

I finished this last night.

The sun is shining on the larch

It's was another beautiful day today. And very cold too.

Warp on loom

Not ready for actual weaving yet, but soon.

The warp is now on the loom, thanks to my always helpful mom.

Varpen är nu i vävstolen, tack vare min alltid lika hjälpsamma mamma.

Warping

Old warping reel

The warping reel is very tall. I can hardly reach to the top of it.

The warp on the warping reel

All of the 160 warp ends.

My company was very still and hard to spot.

Today I winded up the warp for the dark silk warp weaving project. Of course the warp will be used for sample weaving. I have no idea what the sett and such things I should really use.

Idag varpade jag för det mörka silkvarps vävprojektet. Självklart kommer varpen att användas för provvävning. Jag har ingen aning om vilken varptäthet och sådana saker som jag egentligen bör använda.
