Silkwarp'n'heddles

Lester and I had a great day out at Whitchurch Silk Mill and Winchester on Saturday. This is part of the weaving loom at the mill. It's the warp threads (the long ones) passing through heddles. They raise and lower alternate threads so that the weft thread, carried on a shuttle, can be passed between them, creating the fabric.
The mill's a lovely little place, staffed entirely by volunteers, set in very pretty grounds.

Great shot .... very abstracty :)

A lovely abstract shot - I thought at first it was rain falling in reflecting puddles!

[crewnelson]

Fantastic shot! Fav

[Taffy]

This makes such a great abstract, but it also captures the details that go into weavings. Beautifully done.

[Loopy-Lou]

Interesting shot, wonderful abstract, lovely colours.

[Gena Pegg]

Fabulous! Beautiful threads. Lovely composition...and colors. Thanks for sharing. Did you purchase any thing made from the mill?

[Alison Hewitt Bailey]

@eyesmile Thank you, Gena. No, they had some lovely scarves but none quite right for presents or for me, sadly.

Beautiful! Makes a lovely abstract.

[Milanie]

This made a beautiful composition - you're teaching me to look at things much more carefully.

[Maggiemae]

Is this going to be a carpet or material? Great choice of picture showing the detail of the threads!

[Mac]

Wow, this is fascinating! Great shot!

[carol white]

A super capture!! Bet it was a very interesting visit.

[Dione Giorgio]

[Cindy Muir]

Wow! What a cool thingy-ma-whatsis! Awesome shot.

[Margaret Brown]

Great shot, love the different colour yarns

[Lepi]

Very creative and artistic. What an interesting place to visit. I once visited Paradise silk mill in Macclesfield and that was fascinating though I would say that from the point of view of workers in times gone by it must have been anything but paradise.

[Lisa Stein]

FAV! Lovely, abstract image. I love the colors and intersecting lines.

[seasnappi]

awesome lines!

[Jennifer C]

this is brilliant

[Matt Clendon]

It seems very complicated. I wouldn't know where to start.

[Netkonnexion]

Oooh! Thats a really cool shot. Love it. Nice lines, interesting colours and really fun angles. Like the little beads too. Nice one.

[Carole Imes]

Cool artsy abstract feel.....love it!

[John Falconer]

Absolutely fantastic shot. For some reason it makes me dizzy to look at it???? Lovely work Alison.

[David Shimmings]

It is almost an abstract artwork!

[Jerri]

fascinating process. love the many thread colors and the way you have captured the needles all lined up!
