Something a bit different! https://buff.ly/3Qhfe32 had a loom issue, a pair of screws had sheared off on this component of her flying shuttle mechanism. So, I drilled out the screws, and re-drilled for a bolt instead. This really shouldn't shear off!

All the tests that went into the two colours for the recent DKW Junior reupholstery job that @uppercanadaweaving.bsky.social is working on. 27 tests in total, so not too bad (I did 45 for a radio fabric a few years ago). They do make satisfying pages in the sample binders!

Scaled up batches for two colours @uppercanadaweaving.bsky.social is using to make upholstery fabric for a DKW Junior car. These hues are based off of an original swatch of fabric, and lots of testing went into getting a match.

Purples made by overdyeing indigo - you can see how drastically the shade of indigo effects the colour. I'm getting closer to the mark, but we're not there yet. #naturaldyes #smallbatchdyeing #yarnsky

Pictures from a recent meeting with @uppercanadaweaving.bsky.social‬ to compare scaled tests against original samples and the swatch we have for recreating this upholstery fabric. I do scaled tests when colour matching is a primary focus, to make sure things will turn out right - these looked good!
