April Block Weave Workshop, Part 2

Some of us were greatly helped by looking at her woven samples to understand the theory; all of us were in awe of her samples, each of us having different favorites.

 Joan could not believe she put on a brown warp for a sampler, but she did get lovely results.

 Chris's consultation with Maryann paid off; she got nice bright samples.

Judy was hard at work.

 Marjike experimented with polychrome Summer & Winter.

 Maryann demonstrated pick up.

Win was tentative at first, but became very brave.

Win's sample: reversed 3-end twill in the background.

This was woven with a textured weft yarn. Says Win, "It should be woven with the pattern on the reverse side to minimise lifting of sheds."

"In the pale weft section the part between the 2 motifs is done by 'pick up ' method," by Win, who previous thought "pick-up" was a dirty word! 

Joan, you're not still talking about the brown warp, are you??
