Deep Structure

presented by Eileen Hallman

It's about singles, as in yarns that have not been balanced by plying. The first thing you should know about singles is that they have energy. With that energy, you can shape garments without scissors starting with the fiber properties, then considering yarn properties, and finally choosing sett and weave structure. With emphasis on yarn energy, the presentation will include an array of fabrics and garments woven as rectangles and shaped using varying degrees of energy, plus the sett, shrinkage, and weave structure.

Eileen has been spinning cotton on the charkha for over 40 years. As a weaver, she developed a shuttle to hold the spindle and began her journey using handspun singles as weft.
