Sixteen

My final collection has come together this week. I have been working on balancing colour and yarn qualities, mimicking details and playing with scale to build a harmonious yet varied collection.

(rust and indigo dyed samples)

I have been using Indigo and a rust dyeing technique throughout the unit, both processes give quite varied results as seen in the image above. I have explored both dyeing yarn with rust and dyeing whole samples. I found the colour comes through more strongly by dyeing the yarn and so this is what i decided to use for my final samples.
