Structured Stripe

Structured Stripe elevates the process of handwoven prototype blankets by bringing it to an industrial scale. Focusing on the craftsmanship of manufacturing, this striking pattern bends the rules of conventional looms to innovate repeat capabilities. Looking to historical weave techniques like shadow weaves and plaids, eight simple structure variations evolve across the fabric. Through the omission of an individual yarn in the sequence of the warp and weft, impactful shifts in color and texture occur. With artisanal attention to detail, performance yarns with a linen-like slub effect are each custom dyed. An exploration of the interaction of color, the combination of warp and weft results in hues that are both bold and blended.
