My warp from the Rosalie Neilson‘s Rep Weave workshop put on by the Contemporary Handweavers of Houston guild, has been woven and is off the loom. It’s been a few years since I’ve woven Rep.
The workshop, “It’s in the Warp: Color& Design in Rep”, is worth taking. Rosalie explained in a precise manner how this weave structure works. The 4 yd warp let one explore the design possibilities of this weave structure. Except for the trials caused by the sticking harnesses on my 8 shaft Baby Mac loom this was a great workshop that I would highly recommend. Below are the pieces woven as I explored the possibilities of weaving rep.
You can see other workshop participants rep weaving by clicking on this link: http://weavehouston.org/reppin-with-rosalie/. The 15 weavers could choose from different pattern threadings so there is a variety of Rep patterns produced. .

Thank you I wanted to use pretty intense colors to help get thru any problems I would have during the workshop.

This is a non traditional rep weave she introduced us to. I’ve seen it used by Guatemalan weavers.

Lovely samples! I haven’t woven rep but these are definitely inspiring!

Thank you. The setup is tedious because of the close warp sett, but it weaves up fairly quickly if you’re not having sticking harnesses.

Beautiful! I’ve never woven anything like this but, then, I haven’t woven much at all yet! Rep weave looks very intriguing and the colors you chose seem perfect to show off the structure.

Thank you, rep takes longer to setup with the high density of warp threads,but generally weaves up quickly.
