Hand-woven Christopher Blanket
The Christopher collection is inspired by Alan Turnings wonderful Invention that turned the tide of the war in 1936, hidden away in the Bletchley Radio Factory, Northamptonshire. Christopher explores the colours and textures found within Turing's machine, focusing on repeated motifs like the drums and small units replicated across the width, much like the infinite variations the machine switched through.
Each piece of cloth is comprised of a series of materials running through both the warp and weft. This collection working heavily with wools, including Shetland, a beautifully soft and fluffy Angora, Swadale, English and a delicate Lambswool. These yarns are then combined with a series of feature yarns to brighten or lighten the cloth, here we have a sumptuous Silver Bamboo, hand-painted cotton and reflective Glass beaded Nylon yarn.
