Yarn bombing Yarn bombing, yarnbombing, yarn storming, guerrilla knitting, kniffiti, urban knitting or graffiti knitting is a type of graffiti or street art that employs colourful displays of knitted or crocheted yarn or fibre rather than paint or chalk. Method and motivation[edit] While yarn installations – called yarn bombs or yarnstorms – may last for years, they are considered non-permanent, and, unlike other forms of graffiti, can be easily removed if necessary. Nonetheless, the practice is still technically illegal in some jurisdictions, though it is not often prosecuted vigorously.[1] While other forms of graffiti may be expressive, decorative, territorial, socio-political commentary, advertising or vandalism, yarn bombing was initially almost exclusively about reclaiming and personalizing sterile or cold public places.[2] It has since developed with groups graffiti knitting and crocheting worldwide, each with their own agendas and public graffiti knitting projects being run.[3] History[edit]
Nicole Mallalieu Design - Tips and Tutorials for Making Bags and Purses Tips & Tutorials Back to top VIDEO TUTORIAL - How to set in eyelets with a setting tool VIDEO TUTORIAL - Simple method for inserting purse feet. VIDEO TUTORIAL - How to Use a Clover Quick Yo Yo Maker This is an absolute must-read for anyone embarking on bag-making! ALWAYS use interfacing on any bag piece where the pattern reads "cut [specified number] i/f". Interfacing creates structure if it is used on the body of the bag - but is entirely optional here, and using it depends on the weight of the fabric and the finished look that you require. By fusing interfacing to every piece of the outside of the bag you'll add a lot more structure and "OOMPH" to the fabric. You can interface the lining if you want a stiff lining, but it shouldn't be the main support in the bag. It's important to remember that by adding an extra layer of interfacing to a bag piece, you are also increasing the bulk of the fabric.

You SEW Girl: 'Template Plastic' Bag Base Tutorial As promised, I'll be posting up a heap of tutorials this month, trying to cut down the bandwidth/downloads from my website. I can't promise one EVERY DAY, but I'll definitely try to keep them flowing throughout August. This one is a SUPER EASY way to add a sturdy TEMPLATE PLASTIC base to any two-piece bag with a boxed corner. It'll work an any of my BEGINNERS patterns, as well as the Hobo, Sling, City Bag, Evening Bag, Dress Bag, Beach bag and any pattern that uses a similar base structure. Template plastic is cheap and cheerful, simple to use and creates a resilient, washable base for fabric bags (...and yes, we sell it!!) 1. 2. 3. 4. a)Fold the calico in half, lengthwise, and seam down the long raw edges. b) Clip the corners of the seam allowances 5. 6. 7.

Text-Team – Page 12 – Textinfo The production of wool: The word wool is restricted to the description of the curly hairs that form the fleece produced by sheep (Rogers, 2006:931). The sheep’s fleece is removed once a year by power-operated clippers. Newly removed wool is known as raw wool and contains impurities such as sand, dirt, grease and dried sweat. Long wool fibres will be combed and made into worsteds, while short wools are described as carding, or clothing wools. When the wool arrives at the mill it is dirty and contain many impurities that must be removed before processing. The quality and characteristics of the fibre and fabric depend on a number of factors, such as the kind of sheep, its physical condition, the part of the sheep from which the wool is taken, as well as the manufacturing and finishing processes (Corbman, 1983:273). The chemical composition of wool: The cross-linkages in the chains permit the ends to move up and down, which provides the resiliency of the fibre (Labarthe, 1975:51). lustre Care:
Plain Weaves, Rib Weave, Matt Weave, Basket Weave, Twill Weave Examples of Fabric: Satin: Used for ribbons, trimmings, dresses, linings etc, and originally was an all silk fabric with a fine rich glossy surface formed in a warp satin weave. The warp is much finer and more closely set than the weft, and the latter which only shows on the under side is frequently composed of cotton. Double faced Satins are made on the reversible warp backed principle, with one side differently colour from the other. 2.5 Jacquard: Jacquard patterns, when carefully analyzed, may be seen to contain combinations of plain, twill, and satin weaves, even in the same crosswise yarn. Method of Construction: Warp is individually controlled with each pick passage creating intricate designs Household Uses: Upholstery, wall hangings Types of Jacquard fabric; Brocade:. 2.6 Leno or Gauze: In leno or gauze weave pairs of warps are twisted over each other with each passing of filling yarn. Household Uses: Thermal Blankets, curtains
Bonding Techniques Used in Making Elastic Nonwoven Composites Introduction This report encompasses some of the most interesting processes of forming composite elastic nonwoven webs. Elasticity is a desired property in nonwoven webs to be used in bandages, diapers for a tight yet comfortable fit, garment linings for a body-hugging fit, bandages that should be stretchable to cover the wound well and several other applications where it may be needed 1). There are multiple processes of making an elastic nonwoven composite. How the two webs are bonded makes the processes different from one another. The Processes: 1. In this process, the product is manufactured by passing a longitudinally oriented nonwoven material over a roller so as to apply an adhesive to one surface of the nonwoven material. Another patent 3) discusses a composite nonwoven elastic web which is composed of a nonwoven elastic web that is joined to a fibrous nonwoven gathered web. 2.

June | 2011 | John's Attic Textile of the Week: Karamiori (絡み織り): Sha ( 紗) 201109 As discussed in the leno section of this blog, sha is the most basic form of karamiori–which isn’t to say it isn’t something quite delightful. Double Weave Sha 二重紗織り Sample 201109-Double Weave Sha $14 plus postage and tax ($12 even if purchased as part of a set. For more information about sets, click on this text.) 40x Magnification Under Microscope (color removed for clarity) At first glance, the sample presented here appears to be figurative ro. Stepping back just a bit with a lower magnification, we can see that it is actually a double weave sha. Black Side of Fabric Showing Evidence of Reverse Red Layer Another clue to be considered in unraveling this mystery of this particular bolt is the label which states 高級二重本紗 (High Quality Real Sha Double Weave). It is interesting to note how the red side seems to be clinging to the surface black, a bit like someone holding on for dear life with only fingers poking through the grill.

knitting-action-of-latch-needle_1290 Figure A shows the position of a latch needle as it passes through the cam system,completing one knitting cycle or course as it moves up and in its trick or slot. 1 The rest position. The head of the needle hook is level with the top of the verge of the trick. The loop formed at the previous feeder is in the closed hook. It is prevented from rising as the needle rises, by holding-down sinkers or web holders that move forward between the needles to hold down the sinker loops. 2 Latch opening. 3 Clearing height. 4 Yarn feeding and latch closing. 5 Knocking-over and loop length formation. The rest position actually occurs between positions 1 and 2, when the open needle hook just protrudes above the needle trick verge. The latch needle used on the Stoll CMS V-bed flat machine has a spring-loaded latch so that it fully opens and fully closes.
