Hand dyed warps for Stephen walters… Terrible idea to use gassed cotton - had to abandon and redye 2 of the hanks due to tangling like a TOTAL IDIOT

CSM x ReWeave Industry collaboration ‘If tweed originated in Whitechapel’ This sample uses the crowding and spacing re-reeding techniques as well as binding with my hand-spun yarns. In this project I used deadstock tweed yarns and hand spun my own yarns, inspired by the ancient rusting and oxidised hidden motifs around Whitechapel. I wanted to bring a cutting edge to traditional tweed fabrics, in an attempt to modernise British Millinary. I am very proud to announce that I won this competition, along with 2 other very talented weave students!
