A rainbow of wintry colors

Sometimes you see a spectacular color combination when you are out in the nature.
As at a winter day, whit frost in the air and at the time for sunset. Looking at east, the sky are deeply blue, when you ran your eyes over the sky towards west, the color turns lighter blue into turquoise before it went white just before it meet the colors of the sunset. Pink and Purple.

I really want to use these colors.
Until now, I haven't know what to weave.
However, I have already done it:

I have another blog Rasminnas Hverdag (sorry, it's in Danish).
I got a nice comment: It's a kind of Winter Rainbow"
Yes it is!

Playing with crepe

I have a small amount of some Sekku yarn from Noro that I could imagine transforming into some woven textile and then sew something portable.

Which pattern should I choose?

I've never tried crepe, so it must be it.

I know the Sekku yarn is a weft yarn, however I want to try different yarn types / colors in  the warp, but I find it difficult to determine which and there are also more freedom to choose if I use Sekku'en as a warp.

So I did! The first break in the warp thread was already on the warping board!

There were 2 broken warp threads before I had woven 20 cm. But then the warp was steady  the following meter and then there was just 3 broken treads in the last 20 cm. So one can be learning it!

I wove 2 different crepe patterns, both 8 shafts and 8 treadles.

First tie up is from Mastering Weave Structures.

28/2 worsted

Drops Lace - Merino and silk

The second tie up I found in Varp och Inslag (Warp and Weft)

The sett is too close, so there is not as much movement after washing, as I could wish.

After washing the pattern from Mastering Weave Structures looks like this:

The samples from Varp och Inslag have more structure

I have decided to continue working with the brown worsted yarn.
Next move will be a new sample weave with worsted yarn as warp and with more loose sett.
