BLACK MAKES STRONG DECISIVE CONTRASTS

Those who enjoy jumps into the "sometimes unexpected" will love the diversity of black warp. As a very strong contrast it may strengthen color effects or dominate them. In the first two examples below black is an enhancer. In the last one, it strikingly intensifies the curved and angular weft shapes.

Here, all color wefts are weaved first followed by all black and white washes.

With 1/4" warp, the bold colors are strongly visible.

The individual weft shapes are very dominant, even amid large warps.

In the next section, the black warp channels colors and the images are of patterns and color splashes in Group 5, the last section of black backgrounds.
