Weaver Notes
I wove this piece in the hopes of achieving the appearance of a grid (3 D) on the finished textile (see picture 2). I couldn’t bear to weave all gray double weave so I added color to one side of the warp to add some vibrancy.
There are some 3 dimensional aspects even on the colored half where I tried to create an overlying grid. (See picture 3).
A wif does not portray the double weave structure so is not included. However, I used traditional two block double weave on an 8 shaft loom and varied between the four possible tie ups. My color draft and tie ups are pictured.
The piece now hangs as a doorway curtain leading into the yoga room of our home.
