Tip On Easier Weaving
If you're wondering which colours to choose for your warp and want to stay current, have a
look at what's new on TV. Watch what the women are wearing; ie news and talk shows, interviews,
guest appearances, etc. There you will see the colours happening now. If you want a jump on things,
go to the fashion TV shows and you will see colours for several seasons ahead on the runways.
Keep in mind that most times colours are not changing drastically, but very subtly.
Names of colours always change. So, if you are still using a 'rust', now it will be called
'brick' and has a slight change of pink to it. Royal purple is now aubergine and has less red in
it and a little more blue; the lime colours you see seem like in the 70's, but on closer inspection,
that yellowy lime has a bluish tinge to it. So don't use your old colours if you are marketing
your handwovens. Put the warp in a slight blue dye, for example.
This will work and keep your artwork current and appealing.
