Passementerie Weaving

Date

June 2024

This is my latest project, I'm currently experimenting with passementerie weaving and incorporating kumihimo braids into my work. My aim with this work is to design and make a small jewellery collection, using colour and scale to create maximalist accessories.

All samples have been handwoven on my Ashford 8 shaft table loom.

Initial design doodles exploring colour and pattern

First passementerie warp using bamboo yarn. This piece incorporates scoubidous, handmade tassels and hand twisted cord

A selection of handmade kumihimo braids made by me. Created using a variety of cotton yarns and one synthetic yarn

Hand twisted merino wool cord made by me

Design development using my kumihimo cords and masking tape. A quick and easy way for me to visualise potential designs without having to actually weave

More design development using my kumihimo cords and masking tape. Exploring cords overlapping and intertwining.

My second narrow passementerie warp using hot pink cotton yarn

Finished passementerie piece photographed in the sun which catches the subtle iridescence of the tassels.

Final collection of passementerie samples from two experimental warps. These pieces have each been turned into prototype chokers and bracelets. From this I will go on to develop my designs and design a small jewellery collection.
