It requires a so-called “fingertip feeling,” when you mix stripes, patterns & different colors together to get a very nice & pleasant result. But on the other hand, it's hard to fail with Marimekko.
Brought out my frame loom today. Experimenting with stripes before I start weaving other shapes.
What would be a good natural fiber fabric (or other option?) to replace the mesh on the back of this #recumbent #bike seat back? It's in really rough shape (worst damage not pictured). I need something that will retain it's shape, be comfortable on a warm day, and can handle getting wet in the rain. Lightweight would be nice too. Plant fibers only please. Maybe I can weave something out of thin cordage??

The museum itself had some beautiful Indigenous weavings though so it was worth the visit. #textiles #fibrearts

Since the 19th century (1820), the Garín factory has been hand-weaving silks using Jacquard looms that work with punched cards 🧵
Their fabrics have adorned palaces, and have served ecclesiastical purposes for years, although today, the vast majority of their rich fabrics made locally and known as "espolines", shape the regional costumes of many people participating in the festival of Las Fallas of #Valencia

Three long strips made from one of the #stashbuster patterns from "Just get it done quilts" on Youtube. Haphazardly backed with fleece, squared badly and QAYG-joined even worse 😂. Finished size unknown, good enough to cover this sofabed though. Prints are #stripes, #dots, conical flasks, #sheep, #bees, #planets, #llamas, #lemons, musical notes, #cats. OH said "I love all the #science!".

An aesthetic sense & feel for color, shape & pattern is required when working with a mixture of textiles in an environment. Especially challenging when it’s not a coordinated collection. This is an eclectic set up that’s well done. @annaspiro
