Company Name: Walter TurpeningA significant portion of my custom fitted chair business is with handweavers, handspinners and knitters. I make seating to comfortably position them at their looms, spinning wheels, etc. so they may weave, spin and knit to their hearts content.
A tapestry weaver came to me to make a loom bench she could use at her traditional loom and at her tapestry loom. She asked that the seat be woven in the colors of the color wheel. She picked the 6 primary colors and I then braided the cord to blend between them to create the bench seat.
Typically, weavers make color 'gamps' to test out color combinations in different weave patterns. Some 'gamps' are just color studies and use a high contrast warp like black. The weave pattern here is 2/2 twill in a chevron.

Hello Walt,
Great work. Met you at the show in Prov. RI. You're good people. I still want to try to introduce your work to some of the designers that I work with. Just hasn't been the right opportunity yet. Keepin' my nose to the grindstone. Jeff
