Exploration of Fiber, Cloths, and Yarn

This week's exploration endeavor consisted of fabric and yarn. We used our sensories to examine them and see what properties it contained that could be deconstructed. From last week's paper making project, we saw that the drying process of the papers richly highlighted the final stages of its creation. So here are the materials used to demonstrate various properties that become transformed when combined together:



From the start of departure, I was able to analyze the various properties of yarn. The Tealish colored yarn was:
soft, fuzzy, stiff center, bendable, wrapped around my fingers, felt like a stringy carpet, broke apart at the ends, which made it look like hair, wavy like tides, felt like little cotton bals pasted together, felt different in my hands vs. on my lips (felt like burnt hair), tickled my nose, formed into balls, fragile, dropped like a feather, formed little cloudlike shapes, felt like fur when bunched tightly together.



The sea green yarn carried different properties:
it was braided tightly together, rougher, hayish quality, pliable, stringy, it was a byncg of strings wrapped around a tough string, hard to break apart, tangly and knotty

The purple with gold design fabric:
soft and silky, rough patches, gold design, string started to come out of the sides, it flapped, difficult to rip, sheer, stringy where it was cut but was held together with thicker threads along the edge.

Combined together, transformed into this:
