Description
The words “colour-and-weave” (C&W), mean magical patterns that appear in a weave structure created by using combinations of dark and light colours in the warp and the weft. These sequences of dark and light can be overlaid on top of any weave structure: plain weave, twills, units and blocks. The best way to learn these patterns and see them as a language is by learning them on plain weave. When we become familiar with them on plain weave we start to recognize them like letters of the alphabet. Once they become part of our weaving vocabulary we can start using them in other surprising ways. Jane taches you this language in this wonderful article. You’ll learn seven magical sequences that will transform anything you’re weaving! Includes a study gamp.
