Is created by passing horizontal weft threads over and under vertical warp threads to form a network of interlaced yarns. The vertical warp threads for this woven blanket are black and white, and the blocks of colour are made by weaving the colourful weft threads over and under. Warp threads can alter the value of the weft threads. For example, black warp threads darken the colour palette and add contrast to the lighter weft yarns, and white warp threads lighten the colour palette and contrast with the darker weft yarns.

Our blankets are produced by weaving together six individual coloured yarns to create 195 different colours. By combining red, blue, green, gold, white and black yarns at different amounts which excludes vibrant, hot, neon or extremely yellow colours. The graphic above illustrate some of the challenges posed by this limited colour palette.

In the graphic above, the colourful geometric pattern contains a number of hot and vibrant colours. The woven version shows how the nearest available colour can often result in large blocks of a single woven colour where multiple like colours exist in the original graphic. The yellows, light oranges and even light greens in the top left section have all become the same golden colour, together with the dark blues, purples and dark reds in the top right and bottom left sections.
