Ikat Time Lapse - Large 540p Video Sharing.mov (+playlist)

Recently, I have been exploring and experimenting regards painted warps. This video in fast forward is an Ikat technique. The girl is hand painting the yarn in sections using dyes. The overall pattern comes out slightly blurred and not as bright, so I'm hoping that my own experimentation of this technique will come out brighter plus my pattern is less complicated then this one! I'm making mine slightly different, so much that I have 2 x 4 metre skein lengths of a warp to paint and the width is smaller. My warp threads are a mix of linen and cotton so the colour will appear lighter on one yarn and dark on the other. I have no idea how it's going to turn out or even when I start to weave it but it will be fun finding out. Wish me luck!
