Braiding My Own Ecru Yarns

After I had explored ecru as a colour palette I began thinking about how I can apply this to weave. I decided to use my yarns from Texere to create braids. I wanted to vary the thickness, colour and surface as much as possible. My photographs are below.

The yarns used in these samples are

• Chemille in vanilla and mink
• Combed and undyed wool ends
• Combed and brown dyed wool ends
• Combination of mohair, wool and nylon
• Silk noil fibres in silver
• Viscose ribbon in oyster

Thanks for looking!
