i think i'm settling for this draft. will have to throw a couple of picks in madder and indigo dyed silks just to make sure. but most likely i'll go with the
walnut dyed silk as weft. so
shibui .which is exactly what i want. something mottled and understated that i can wear without getting tired. that's for the look.
for technicalities i have been working with this fractal image
straight from the batch, but then chopping it, resizing transforming the color, dithering it and finally adding an overlay in twill and plain weave. it may still go through changes, but i needed to get off the computer.if changes happen they will be dealt with after the weaving starts.
the sett will be somewhat loose, but it will be stabilized in the wet finish. better to start on the open side so as not to end up with cardboard.
have already started sleying the dummy warp. not wasting more than the necessary of that precious merino wool.
neki desu
