Houndstooth Length

I am continuing with the lengths for the book so the next one I have done is a Houndstooth design of pink pigment discharge with a black reactive outline on a yellow and black mercerised cotton warp.

 
Winding the warp

 
Raddling and winding onto the back beam

The warp is rolled onto the table




    
  Printing takes place using 2 pre registered screens, a pink pigment discharge for the bold part and a black reactive outline.
 

The warp is rolled from the table onto the back beam.

 
A black weft is inserted during weaving.



After the fabris is woven, it is steamed and washed, ready to be cut into samples for the book.
