Weave With Me: Tabby and Twill Color Gamps

[@SageMarjoram]

Grab coffee, tea, and/or some crafting and relax for a bit while I babble about weaving! I've added chapters so feel free to jump to what sounds interesting. Chapters and information in the description box 🙇🏽🙇🏽. Also - I promise my weft placement is much more even on the multishaft now 😂. This was project number 3 and golly. I was in the right ppi range, but they were not evenly spaced. Lucky I was not worried since this wool is so stretchy! It all settled into place even before wet finishing.

I just found your channel and have had a lovely Sunday afternoon binge watching whilst I've been spinning. I've only dabbled in weaving a little but one day I hope to find time to do more. Thank you so much for sharing your creativity and these lovely videos. Will look forward to the next one

I love the colours. As a new weaver I’m still practicing. Your voice is so relaxing it makes for a great video 👍🏻

Those are gorgeous--when they first came off the loom, I liked the tabby gamp best. After they were wet finished, though, I decided I like the twill one best. Congrats on the scholarship!

What is a gamp????

[@SageMarjoram]

Hi Sharon! A gamp is a term that is used to describe a cloth that is designed to show interactions. Whether color or twill, a gamp is used to show overlap. So in a color gamp by threading and weaving in the same order, you get a matrix showing all the hues blended. In twills with threading and treadling the same patterns, you get a matrix or different twills. It comes from an English slang for umbrella! I think of my gamps as reference documents!
