Tubular Spectrum Color Gamp Kits
Have you ever wondered how two colors that look wonderful on the cones when they are sitting on your shelf can turn into such ugly cloth when they are woven together? A solution to this problem is to use a Color Gamp as your reference tool when planning projects. Color Gamps are a woven sampler with the colors arranged in the same manner in the warp as in the weft. The resulting fabric has blocks of colors as the warp and weft yarns interlace. Thus, as you plan projects, you can look at the gamp and find your warp yarns and weft yarns and examine the interaction of the two before you put them on the loom. It reduces the number of surprises at the end of your weaving project! Plus, they are beautiful too!
THE TUBULAR SPECTRUM COLOR GAMP KIT...$76
This kit contains 1.5 oz cones of all twenty Tubular Spectrum colors (about 400 yards).The kit includes
instructions for basic gamps and much more. Also, it is a great way to get a “sampler” of
the colors in the Tubular Spectrum. Our kit contains everything you need to weave three square color
studies, approximately 36 inches square. Explore the interactions of these pure colors in plain
weave and then see the totally different effect of 2/2 twill, 3/1 twill, huck lace, Bronson, overshot,
summer & winter. 4 and 8 harness instructions included. Yarn is all 10/2 mercerized cotton dyed with fiber reactive dyes to minimize fading and bleeding of the colors.
