Adventures in upholstery

Jean Findlay sent us these photos of a chair upholstered in a vibrant cloth she wove using Valley Yarns Mercerised Cotton 5/2 NeC. There are another three chairs to cover, and Jean plans to use the same six colours in a different pattern for each.

She used:

  • Mediterranean Blue – 2448
  • Porcelain Blue – 2166
  • Daffodil – 1325
  • Burnt Sienna – 7198
  • Dark Cheddar – 4131
  • Ink Blue – 2625

Plus a Toika metal stretcher to control draw-in on this heavier cloth.
