Yesterday the yarn order for the colour gamp kits arrived. This morning I sorted through it all, dividing the yarn up into plastic bins – one for each of the kits.
Unfortunately I wasn’t happy with a couple of my colour choices, so I have to order in more yarn to make the gamps look nicer – to me.
There will be four gamps – Rainbow (saturated – in the middle bin on the right), earth tones (bin in the foreground), Neutrals (sort of grey scale – middle left) and Pastels (on the top).
Each gamp will have 9 colours. Each kit will have a pre-wound warp, and paper quills with sufficient weft to weave two gamps. The warp will be enough for two gamps – possibly one in plain weave, one in twill. Or two weavers could share the warp and each have a colour gamp.
The challenge now is – where to store it all.
I’ll be posting info to my Art Fire store as soon as I have woven the samples. All four kits should be ready mid-October.
