Preparing for hand-in. Tomorrow it will all be over, the culmination of three years hard work, I hope I’ve made it worth it. Take note of my very professional measuring out where my photos should be placed on the mountboard with string taped to the table. 

If you’re around in London on the 26th-29th June then why not come and see my work at New Designers? It’s in the Business Design Centre in Islington and I’m at stand T55. 

These are the samples I wove this week (perhaps the last samples I’ll weave at uni - scary!) and they were very slow to do. The warp is lambswool and the weft is merino, which is very fine, hence why they took so long, around 4-5 hours each. This structure is one I tried out at the very beginning of this project, way back in January, and have wanted to experiment with some colour through it ever since. I’m so glad I squeezed it in, with a week to spare because it’s a structure I really like. It is also the same structure I used to weave my blankets, but simply because my weft yarns were so different (white wool 4/5 versus worsted merino 2/36) they look completely different. I think this is a great feature for my collection however, because even though they look so different they are linked together. 

Samples from my last warp, which have now been milled for varying amounts of time. The warping mill with my next, and quite possibly final, warp wound on. 

Today’s progress; I wove nearly 3m of a 4m warp. Lambswool, merino and graupner rug wool. All hand-dyed by me.
