Colour & Weave Gamp
A gamp is a sampler, a weaver’s way of using a single warp to test out multiple ideas. It could be a colour gamp or a weave structure gamp or in this case a gamp that explores colour patterns. Colour and Weave is not a weave structure but rather a pattern, in the sense that it is simply plain weave with the addition of colour effects through alternating light and dark threads.

Breakfast Eggs Towels Pattern
The first warp uses an easy all over houndstooth colour sequence leaving areas of solid yellow and white just like you would have in a fried egg and the second shows you how to use just a bit of striping to create a colour and weave highlight in the corner of your towels with a more muted scrambled egg palette where buttery and deep yellow combine. Mix and match and make them your own.

We’re so excited to share with you to our newest weaving workshop, which introduces new ways of working with a rigid heddle loom – Clasped Warp & Weft on Rigid Heddle, taught by Amanda Wood!
The rigid heddle is a wonderful tool for weaving small projects like scarves and cowls, and in this new course, Amanda teaches two-colour interlocking projects to create two very different scarf projects. Interlocking, clasping two yarns of different colours around each other and using them as one, allows us to shift colours, texture and pattern in both the warp and weft in new ways. It’s like freestyle drawing with our yarn! Interlocking in the warp allows a fluid, organic colour shift, and interlocking in the weft can create a more structured, graphic contrast and transition between two colours.

We`ll see you there!
