Crammed and Spaced

I love the effects I got from further experimentation and testing for pleated fabrics. This one uses crammed and spaced warp ends to give differing amounts of collapse across the fabric. Four different cotton warp stripes crossed with a number of different high test weft yarns. The next stage is to design garments so I can calculate the width and length of fabric I will need to weave. There is also the opportunity to do some dyeing of the warp, but do I really need to add more pressure at this stage? Maybe not!
