I am a textile artist. Z is part of my name. Twist is what goes into everything I work with--metaphorically or physically. Art is the result. So come and see what happens along the way.

Colour Mixing--Multi-Marle
Remember this . . .
. . . a photo I took in January of a tree in the rain. I was drawn to the freshness of the colours and the texture of the creamy white blossoms. I took that idea and chose some coloured tops: three shades of green and a natural white. I stripped down the tops and laid them side by side ready to spin:
This is my multi-marle approach to colour mixing. Here's how it looks on the bobbin today.
It's quite high twist, so I'm thinking of plying it back onto a fine commercial wool yarn. I hope the texture as well as the colour combination will pick up some of my feeling about the photo.
