Weaving with different materials, such as paper yarns, fibres and beads will produce texture on the finished item. Tapestry The simple under and over of the yarns, and the beating down of the threads creates a tight, robust fabric for wall hangings and rugs. Getting Started... A continuous warp thread is wrapped taut around a frame. The warp threads are separated with a cross warp tied as in the photo below. To make the tapestry, a weft yarn is woven over and under across the warp threads and beaten down with a fork or comb to close any gaps.

This selection of yarns have been brought together to provoke the imagination and fuel a passion for textiles. Metallised Yarn A special yarn in gold or silver finish, made by 3rd generation Japanese craftsmen. The yarn is made from real metallised silver and is soft and supple to the hand and specifically designed for hand weaving Songket fabrics in Malaysia as well as the high end of the Kimono market in Japan. Light Reflective Yarn Coated with reflective material on both sides, this 1mm wide PVC plastic strip is strong enough to stitch with and used in both warp and weft. The yarn can be ironed with a cool iron but will shrink when a hot iron is applied. The shrinkage does not affect the reflective quality and can be used to create special weaving effects. We recommend experimentation and testing before starting your project. The yarn, which presents as a pale grey reflects to a silver white and is extremely difficult to photograph. 240g bobbin, approx. 600m £39.50........................ FY17000 FREE P&P orders over £95 Water Soluble Monofilament Yarn 8 A 90 denier yarn which shrinks by 40% when placed in water at 40°C, and dissolves completely at 70°C. It can be used for Shibori or to support a low strength warp or weft yarn, and to stabilise open weaves. The low temperature for dissolving means that even fine woven silk will not lose lustre. Complex textures can be developed by allowing the yarn to shrink, or two and three dimensional structures assembled before removing all traces of the original yarn superstructure. 65g (1000m) hank silver 65g (1000m) hank gold £20.45........................

They come as a pair, one S twist and one Z twist, and when they are woven together, with one as the warp and the other the weft, they release an energy which causes the fabric to collapse after being released from the loom, creating the crepe finish. 44 denier, 55,500 m/kg (28,000yds/lb). 2 cones x 200g £49.00........................

One set of the yarns are called the warp and the other set, which crosses over and under, are the weft. When the row of the weft is pushed up against the previous row, a solid woven cloth is created. This is achieved with a comb on a basic loom, and with an integrated beater and reed on larger looms. Wooden Marudai Create intricate braids using the Japanese technique of Kumihimo.

The fibres can be laid flat on a surface or molded around a former such as a hatshaper. Felting needles are used to attach fibres to the surface of felt or to sculpt dry fibres into 3d shapes. The barbs along the length of the needle hook the fibres back on each other causing them to tangle. All types of fibres can be felted effectively using this method. Getting Started... Wet Felting Explorer Pack A great present or starter kit. This box contains 300g dyed Merino Wool Tops, 100g white Merino Wool Tops, 10g dyed Wensleydale, 10g dyed Silk Hanky, 2 jiffy cloths and full instructions on how to produce felt from fibres. £14.30........................

Tease the wool open and fluff it up to a consistent mix, and shape it into a ball. • Wet the outside of the ball with the soapy liquid and roll the ball between the palms keeping a constant pressure and motion. • Add further fibres to pack out the shape if necessary and more soapy water as required. • When the ball has hardened and the fibres have adhered to the surface, rinse the ball in clean water, squeeze out and leave to dry.

Beginners may prefer to invest in a hand spindle although some will decide to learn the process using a spinning wheel. Merino Wool and Tussah Silk Blend 70% Merino wool and 30% tussah silk, blended together using 3 colours of wool tops. The creamy yellow of tussah silk provides a subtle high light in the complimentary marriage of the 3 tones used and a luxurious handle. This exciting, tactile fibre will appeal to spinners, knitters and felt makers alike. Getting Started... • A medium staple fibre such as Shetland or Suffolk is ideal for beginners. Shorter or slippery fibres such as cotton or silk sliver can be left for later. • Yarn is defined by the direction it has been spun to create either an s-twist or a z-twist single yarn. A high twist gives a hard unyielding yarn whilst a lower twist gives a more elastic feel. • The integrity of the yarn is determined by the amount of twist. When the singles are plied to make the final yarn, the twist in the singles is normally balanced out to give a stable yarn. Learning how to regulate this twist is the key to a well balanced yarn. • A singles yarn can be used for weaving, and strengthening the yarn by plying it with another singles yarn will ensure it is adequate for knitting and crochet. 100g Schacht Pear Tahkli Spindle A support spindle designed for spinning short fibres and very fine yarn.

Jewellery makers can use polymer clay to good effect, as most brands produce a translucent clay which can be used on its own or mixed with colours to make delicate translucent pastel shades and faux stones. Premo Sculpey A superior polymer clay, ideal for jewellery making especially Millefiori and caning work. It is very malleable and holds a sculpted line well. It is easily blended with other colours and can be combined with other clays, powders or pigments for creating different effects. The translucent colour is the most translucent of all the polymer clay brands. Once cured, the clay is strong and durable. It is not brittle the thicker areas are hard and rigid and the thinner delicate areas ‘flex’ to reduce the risk of breakage. Oven bake at 130°C. Getting Started... First soften the clay with the heat from your hands. The clay quickly becomes malleable and is easy to roll and shape. A simple bead can be rolled in the hands or uniform shaped and sized beads can be made on a bead rolling machine Add a hole with a large needle, place on an oven proof dish and bake in the oven. General health and safety precautions should be used. It is essential that the manufacturers heating instructions are closely followed and that the room is well ventilated. Hands should be washed after handling the clay and the same cookware used to bake the clay should not be used again for food. Bead Roller set 2 £22.50......................

SF01 5 litre £29.00.............................. SF05 20 kg 45 kg £89.00 ............................ SF20 £175.00.............................. SF45 Prints are made permanent on fabric by fixing with heat which provides an outstanding fastness and soft finish. 1 litre £19.00 ............................ KP01 5 litre 25 kg £79.75.............................. KP05 £320.00.............................. KP25 Adding water to the solution allows you to paint or spray onto paper and board. The dilute solution can still be used on fabric but must be tested for wash fastness as the binder will become less effective. Concentrated coloured pigments for combining with binder to make printing inks and paints. The pigments are supplied in a liquid state as “pigment in dispersion”, i.e. the pigment is still a solid, though minute, and has not been dissolved into the liquid (see left for method for mixing with binder). Discharge bleaching agent and the perchlorethylene, used in dry cleaning, can discolour some pigments. e.g. a red, after treatment might look “brownish”. The colour chart shows: * colours fast to dry cleaning in perchlorethylene, † colours dischargeable using a discharge agent. Getting Started... • Estimate the amount of binder you require. 1kg of binder SF20 will cover approximately a 2.8m square of print area. • Stir your chosen pigment well before measuring. The colours are concentrated and should be used at a rate of up to 50g per kg of binder. An average of 35g will give full shade (Luminous colours should be used at a rate of 80-120 g per kg). • Black TT Pigment is prone to gelling if the concentration of the pigment is more than 2% (2g per 100g binder). In order to get a good strong black, a 5% concentration is generally required. To prevent gelling, add a salt solution (10g salt to 100ml water) a little at a time. • Carefully add the pigment to give the strength of colour required. Do not overload the binder as surplus will be left on the surface of the material. • Fix the print when dry. Heat speeds up and completes a chemical “cross-linking” reaction. Generally, fixing can be completed with an iron at 150°C for 4-5 minutes on the reverse of the print, depending on the type of fabric and the amount of pigment used. 50 A solvent-free, water based acrylic binder for making printing ink or paint for use on light coloured fabric or paper.

Printing Pébéo Soleil Fluid paint colours for all fabric painting and dip dye techniques plus the surprising process of heliographic printing. The fabric or paper is first painted and stencils or masks are placed over the painting whilst still damp. The paint vanishes from those areas not exposed to the sun (or a bright halogen lamp) creating a reversed out print. Heat set with a hot iron on reverse for 5 minutes to make machine washable at 40°C. Formulated from disperse dyes, for printing on synthetic fabrics such as polyester, nylon and fabrics containing more than 60% synthetic fibre. Paint onto non-absorbent paper, allow to dry and iron on back of paper directly onto fabric. Use masks such as dried leaves or paper cut outs so that only part of the paint transfers, and build up the design with a number of different colours. Transfers can be used more than once but give a duller image with each application. The paints are intermixable, non-toxic, water based and wash fast, leaving a soft and flexible handle to the fabric. 110ml £4.15...............

They are a cold water dye, making them suitable for Batik, and set with soda ash. The addition of salt helps to disperse the dye particles so that colour is better absorbed. Adding a solution of Urea increases the solubility of the dyes, allowing a longer reaction time and deeper colours, most useful when printing. Fibrecrafts Procion MX Dyes Cold water dyes for use on natural fibres such as cotton and silk. 0.5g of dye powder is required per 100g of dry fabric for pastel shades, and up to 4.0g dye powder for deep shades such as navy and black. To dye 100g of dry fabric, first dissolve the required amount of dye powder in a little cold water. Combine with 500ml cold water to make a stock solution for immediate use, (see below left for further dyeing instructions). Procion MX Dye Bath: • Measure cold water into a bucket (3 litres per 100g dry weight of fibre), add the dye stock solution (see product details) and stir. • Add the clean wetted fabric (wrung out), ensure fully submerged, and leave to stand for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. • Add 40g of common salt for every litre of water (having first dissolved it in a little water) gradually over the next 10 minutes (the salt pushes the dye into the fabric, helping to create an even, rich colour). • Add 10g of soda ash for every litre of water (having first dissolved it in a little hot water) and leave for 1 hour, stirring occasionally. • Wash and rinse well Procion MX Dye Painted, Sprayed or Printed: The dye can be applied to fabric with a paint brush, dropper or spray bottle. The fabric is first soaked in a solution of soda ash (5g soda ash for each litre of warm water). For tie-dye, first tie the fabric, soak it in the solution and wring out. Do the same for Batik but allow the fabric to dry thoroughly so that the wax can be applied. Add a small amount of Urea to the dye as it acts as a humectant and keeps the fibres damp for longer, allowing a greater reaction time for the dye. Combine dye, Urea and Manutex (sodium alginate) thickener to make the dye suitable for printing. 50g 25g 20g Soda Ash Use to fix Procion MX dyes 500g £4.60........................

To dye 100g of dry fabric, first dissolve the required amount of dye powder in a little cold water. Combine with 500ml cold water to make a stock solution (see left for further dyeing instructions). Dyeing Acid dyes are best used for dyeing protein fibres such as silk, wool, camel, fur, cashmere and some synthetics such as nylon. The dyes themselves are not acidic, the word acid merely referring to the distilled vinegar (acetic acid) which is used to set them. Along with vinegar, the dyes are set in hot water, with the heat from steam or in the microwave. Fibrecrafts Acid Dyes Other formulations of Acid dye, such as Discharge Acid Dyes, allow for experimentation. Acid Dye Bath: • The dye bath must be heat proof, of glass, enamel or stainless steel (do not use cooking pots). Measure warm water into the dye bath. The quantity of water is not critical except that for even results there must be plenty of room for circulation. A typical ratio is 30 times as much water as fibre i.e. 3 litres water for 100g dry weight fibre. • Add 100ml distilled vinegar per 100g fibre (half the quantity if dyeing synthetics). • Submerge dampened material in the bath and soak for 10 minutes. Remove it and then add the dye stock solution (see product details) and stir well. Return the material and gently move around the bath for 10 minutes. • Heat the bath to hand hot. Remove from heat and allow to stand for 10 minutes. Stir and return to heat. Maintain at a simmer just on boiling for 20 minutes but DO NOT STIR or allow to boil fast enough to cause movement (and hence felting if dyeing wool). • Allow to cool and rinse well. 50g £8.95............................

Wear a dust mask when handling fine powders and aerosols on a regular basis. Use in a well ventilated room. • Avoid splashing solutions into the eyes, swallowing the materials or prolonged skin contact. A simple ‘non-contact’ approach (wear gloves, goggles and overalls where necessary) plus normal, good hygiene is sufficient precaution for the occasional user. • Keep work areas clean and dust free. Wash hands and equipment regularly. • Store in clearly labelled containers well away from children, pets and foodstuffs. Treat with the same caution as domestic poisons (e.g. strong cleaners, bleaches or medicines). • Dispose of spent solutions containing residues of the dyes responsibly. Dilute and pour onto waste land or into the sewage system. They have no known effect on the environment when used in the quantities recommended in the literature. Further Information Material Safety Data Sheets are prepared by chemical and dye manufacturers and contain information and instructions on the chemical and physical characteristics of a substance. The sheet includes potential hazards and risks, safe handling requirements and the actions to be taken in the event of fire, spill or exposure.

JAC1880 Painting Silk Fabric: • Pin the silk to the frame by placing the first pin in the centre of the farthest edge and then in each corner. Pull the silk fabric across the frame and place pins on the opposite side. Repeat this on the remaining sides. • Using an auto fade pen, sketch out your design. The ink from the auto fade pen will wash away with the wet paint, or fade completely within 24 hours. Keep the shapes simple and bold. • Go over the outlines of the design with a gutta outliner. The outliner will sink through the surface of the fabric to form a barrier, remember to close all ‘loops’ to stop the paint from escaping beyond the boundaries. • Squeeze the tube gently until some of the outliner starts to come out of the nib and wipe away any excess. Be confident, it doesn’t matter if the outliner does not follow the design exactly. Allow the outliner to dry. • Paint with light colours first. A second application will intensify the colour. • Remove the painting when dry and heat set the paints with a hot iron as per the manufacturer’s instructions. 70 Deka Silk Coloured Outliner 30ml £4.60..........................

SAMPLES Most of the fabrics supplied by George Weil are ready for dyeing, although they can pick up grease and residue during the handling process. • Before dyeing, painting or printing onto fabric, it is important to check whether the fabric is ‘Prepared for Dyeing’ (PFD) or requires scouring to remove any grease, oil or starch. Run a few droplets of cold water onto the fabric. If they soak in quickly, no scour is necessary. • To remove starches, size and oils, add 5mls of Synthrapol (a non-ionic detergent, see page 76) along with 2-3 litres of water for each 100g of material. Stir gently over a 15 min period, and then rinse thoroughly in warm water. • Household detergents may leave an alkaline residue which can affect colour or wash fastness. >> place your order online anytime at: www.georgeweil.com Steam-fix Silk Dyes Silk Paints Visit www.georgeweil.com for further product details and photographs or call: 01483 565800 Dupont Silk Dyes & Ancillaries Silk Painting Explorer Pack see page 68 for details see page 70 for details Jacquard Silk Colours Set Jacquard Dye-na-flow see page 68 for details see page 71 for details Fabric Steamer Jacquard Dye-na-flow Exciter Pack £14.30.........................

They are suitable for a number of surfaces including cotton, synthetics, paper, board, wood, polymer clay and leather, although testing is advised. The paints are made permanent on fabric by heat setting them with an iron or they can be mixed with Jacquard Airfix which acts as a catalyst when heat setting is not practical. We always recommend you test paints before starting a project. Jacquard Lumiere Paint Thick metallic and pearlescent acrylic colours that do not spread. The paint has excellent coverage and remains soft and flexible, stretching with the fabric. It is therefore ideal for use in dance and theatrical costume design and sports clothing.

You can prepare fabrics by rinsing out starches and surface residues before dyeing, printing or painting, and after use to prevent back staining by removing colour which has not combined with the fabric. Rinse the finished item in a solution of half a teaspoon to 5 litres water. Make a more concentrated solution when boiling out batik wax, or use up to 2 tablespoon to 5 litres of cold water when cleaning fleece ready for spinning.

Silk Paper Making Getting Started... • Protect surfaces with plastic sheeting. • Spread the fibres in 2-3 thin layers, perpendicular to each other, between two sheets of nylon mesh netting. • Dampen thoroughly with Silk Paper Medium or with a solution of CMC paste (add CMC powder to a measure of very hot water and stir until dissolved, top up with cold water, stir well and allow to cool). • Work the medium into the fibres with a sponge, ensuring the fibre is thoroughly wetted and remove the excess with a clean, dry sponge. • Peel away the top sheet of netting or leave in place for a more textured paper. • Place on a cooling tray to dry and then carefully peel off the back sheet of netting to reveal the handmade silk paper.

Paper Making Getting Started... • A sturdy food blender is helpful for making the pulp. Do not use the blender for preparing food once it has been used for this process. • Recycled paper is only as good as the paper it is made from. Choose a good quality, acid free paper or use Calcium Carbonate to help promote an alkaline pulp. • Plant fibres, such as grass or onion skins, can be chopped up and boiled in a solution of soda ash until the lignin is separated from the cellulose fibre. Lignin is the substance that binds the cells and fibres together in the plant and will ultimately rot paper if it is not removed. The remaining cellulose fibre can be chopped smaller in a blender to make a pulp. • Combined the pulp with coloured pigments, fillers and other fibres for texture and colour.
