Thread Collective makes it possible to produce these one-of-a-kind works anywhere within Australia. As a wall hanging, tapestries have a three-dimensional quality that prints and other artworks simply cannot replicate - especially when made with the passion and signature of a skilled weaver. Backed with a thick fabric they make excellent coasters!.Today, they’re very much a part of modern fibre art, providing a unique handmade touch to interiors. Just to give you a flavour of what one of these designs might look like, here are photos of each of them as 10cm square tapestries. Click on the little image below and a document with instructions and cartoon will open in a new window ready for you to print off. Each is about 10 cms square but you could increase the size of the cartoons when you reprint them if you wanted to weave a bigger version. If you are looking for a small tapestry weaving project then you might want to have a go at one of these four designs. You can find out more from her about this by joining one of her courses. To eliminate the very tweedy textures that I don't like, I have found that if I use one or two thicker threads of the main colour with slightly different colours or tones in thinner yarns then the result is much more pleasing than if all the threads in the bundle are the same thickness". Because I am interested in achieving very subtle and complex effects, I nearly always use more than one colour in each of my mixes. Masterweaver Joan Baxter uses this approach and says "Over the years I have developed a way of working with different weights of yarn in my weft bundle. But some very interesting effects can be obtained by mixing weft of thickness. On the warps page, we have provided some guidance on how many strands of weft yarns are needed for various warp settings. See Glossary for more information on this. The thickness of worsted wool is traditionally measured in the 'worsted count' (WC) but increasingly is measured in the 'new metric' count (NM). Traditionally used for suiting fabric and upholstery, a worsted yarn is ideal for weaving tapestry. The result is a hard wearing, robust woollen yarn with little or no elasticity or 'bounce'. It is then spun with a high twist keeping the fibres in line. It has been combed until all the shorter fibres have been removed and the remaining long fibres all lie parallel to each other. Worsted wool is a yarn derived from sheep's fleece that is quite long from root to growing tip (the staple length). Usually, this means a worsted spun yarn rather than a woollen spun yarn (see below) or a robust yarn such as linen, cotton, silk or synthetic yarns.
