sample details

In my last post I promised to post some detailed sample photos. Here they are at last!

The above photo is the first sample before washing, and below, after washing and pressing. Left side is front and right side is the back of the sample. The pre wash colour is a more true colour.

They are, from bottom to top in both photos, woven like this from left to right:

Note that after washing the weaving of 3+4 have changed to plain weave. Before washing is was like a basket where you could see the under layer through the top layer. But in fact it was like plain weave, only because they are woven in 2 layers did they show that kind of basket effect but when washing there was nothing to stop the yarn to go where they wanted to go, plain weave.
Crimp after washing was about 2,5% length wise and about 5% in the width.

In 5+6 you can see that this has not happened as much as there was a pattern to stop them going to plain weave

The above sample with the 7 differences was woven in only a small section of about 6 to 7cm each as it was all the same, not like the next samples below where I wove like the threading.

Here some more sample, dark part is pre wash and lighter part is after washing but no pressing

 

 

Here are more samples woven like this, they have not been washed yet.

 

 

 

In all samples, left is front side and right is back side of the cloth.

You can see what the effect of the threading has had on the weaving with wider and narrower patterns.

Yarn used was Venne cotton 34/2   with a sett of 16 threads per cm.
