The latest project, designed on the North Yorkshire Moors, in August, when the heather is out. |
The purple heather, in full bloom. August 2019 |
The purple North Yorkshire Moors |
The warp for the design is 108cms wide on the Toika loom. It is created to be woven as an undulating twill, with random colourways, taken from the heather and surrounding moorland. The resultant piece will be a 'throw' of about 200cms in length, with a fringe at each end.
The handspun wool for this project was dyed with acid dyes.
