Inspiration for my Warp
When designing my warp I reviewed all my research so far, contemplating both Wallace Sewell's samples alongside the colour strips I had created from Feininger's painting. One Wallace Sewell warp that I was particularly inspired by was one from there silk square collection, the random accumulation of stripes differing in width constantly alongside blocks of colour. The advantage of this complex pattern, as shown by Wallace Sewell, is that only simple weft colours are needed, large blocks of colour are overpowered and embellished by the warp.
A Painted Plan and Yarn Wrap of my Final Warp
My final warp plan (above), I feel has embodied all the elements I highlighted. There is an uneven yet controlled variation of stripes, the colours appear random yet are carefully planned to relate directly back to Feininger's Barfuesserkirche I and Wallace Sewell's use of highlights, lowlights, and tones. To get these perfect colours I have chosen to dye all my yarn, the yarn I have selected is Pure Wool 2/36's as it is natural and its fine quality. After studying Wallace Sewell's threading and taking Barfuesserkirche I's use of blocks into account I have chosen to make my warp double cloth, and thread up on straight blocks (below).
