Circles and Ovals |
I've been getting in lots of Practice at this tapestry Weaving malarkey.
My Warp tension is improving and I'm not tightening the weft too much (although it could still be neater). I have been trying to weave circles and ovals using a wool yarn in flat colour. Placing a piece of white paper behind the warp has made weaving shapes so much easier. I have also woven another practice sample but it is so bad I'm ashamed to show it. It has some Soumak that I tried to weave to outline shapes but, when I wove a vertical line, the soumak became thick and messy. I need soumak advice!
I have just ordered a lot of weaving yarn so I am expecting a big box of lovely colours to play with.
