How to Avoid Weaving Stripes

Jul 17, 2019Art weaving, Weaving & Fiber2 comments

I love freeform art weaving. But it is super easy to weave mindlessly and end up with stripes. Not that stripes are bad, but adding some visual accents will help keep you weaving a little more interesting and dynamic. In this video, I show you some weaving tricks that will help break up strong horizontal lines in your woven work.

About UrbanGypZ

About UrbanGypZ Fiber artist Stacey Budge — you might know her as UrbanGypZ — works out of a home studio just outside Raleigh, NC, where the loom is usually warped with something interesting and there's fiber drying somewhere it shouldn't be. Her mission: to build a real community around freeform weaving and spinning — not a masterclass, a studio you belong to. She believes fiber art doesn't need gatekeeping, and that the most interesting work happens when you stop trying to do it "right" and start finding your own visual language.
