Jacquard Weave

Below are some of my Jacquard weave design ideas and fully finished ideas, I am really pleased with the outcome and will be continuing to work on the progress of more ideas. Some of my designs below I have also experimented with different colours but I will show these at a later date as they are still on the machine. Enjoy!

With this image below I edited it so that when it wove it was just the left half of the image but mirrored to created a ball shape, I think this worked really well. I used it as a third drop repeat and the background ended up coming out with a stripe in it but I think this also works well though  I would like to try my original idea too.



When looking at this design I think you could see it as many things. You can see a face or almost an animal illusion, I like this idea of illusions.


This one below now is my favourite weave so far, I just love the colours and the yarns used as when you look at the piece it looks so textured and structured. 



The above was created from this design with slight tweaking, I love the colours I chose in the end and I think they sit well together.

Hand loom Weave

Here is where I began my hand loom weaving, This below is my first sample so far, I really like the colours and details that I chose to work with but now I have completed some of my Jacquard weaving I will try and incorporate shapes and imagery into my hand loom weaving more too.


I do really like the textures within my weave work and this incorporates with my previous knit pieces.
