I was really happy with my final weaves; however I feel I
only got ‘into it’ within my last few days so I did not work to my full
potential. I struggled due to the nature of my monochrome colour scheme, that I
could only really use one loom which was quite inconvenient at times. However, I
do feel that I have portrayed my visual research reasonably well. I tried as
much as possible to experiment with different techniques and patterns as I didn’t
want my plain colour scheme to become ‘boring’. I looked at using some
different materials for my weft to introduce a much thicker line into my work.
For this, I used some rubber string I bought from the A4 store, which enabled
my weave to become a lot more textured. At first, I struggled to get the hang
of this, (as seen on the right of the bottom image) but managed to get to grips
by putting plain weave in between the strips. This gave them much more
stability.
I am not excited to experiment and introduce colour into my
knit samples.
