Beginning
For our first technical block rotation, I began with weave. I was really excited to try weave because it's something I've never tried before (not properly anyway). I'd only ever tried very basic hand weave.

We began by selecting a colour palette based on our Rough Guide and Box Clever collection; choosing 2 main colours to be used in the warp (the vertical yarn). Once we had selected these, we created a wrapping pattern which utilised both colours and created a basic vertical stripe. This was then turned into a length of yarn by counting the stripes and creating a warp order - mine was made into a 'point draft'.This was then prepared on a warping board, based on this number pattern sequence of turquoise and red threads. Once the yarns were prepared they were to be loaded onto the loom, ready to start weaving in the weft (horizontal stripe).
