Detail of one of the guardbooks from when Edwin Woodhouse owned Sunny Bank Mills 1882 - 1912. . . #TextileArchive #VisualResearch #YorkshireYorkshireYorkshire #YorkshireHeritage #TextileMill #FineWorsted #WorstedCloth #Jaegar #SavilleRow Image Description: [Guardbook detail showing yellowing pages with strips of blue worsted woven cloth laid next to each other in a vertical length. Each strip is approx 3cm by 10cm and displayed in a gradient.]

Subtle colour changes in the worsted cloth. The beauty is in the detail. The archive @sunnybankmills . . . . #heritage #YorkshireHeritage #TextileHeritage #WorstedCloth #VisualResearch #TextileMill #YorkshireYorkshireYorkshire Image Description: [strips of fine woollen worsted cloth in archived guardbook. Yellowing pages can be seen. Varying shades of blue fabric with subtle pin stripes.]

Today we had the pleasure of welcoming the British Tapestry Group (Northern Region) to @sunnybankmills. Thanks to Rachel and Sarah for opening the archive and providing such a wonderful tour. @btgweavers . . . . #textilearchive #britishtapestry #worstedcloth #fineworstedwool #farsley #farsleycommunity

DN / UP (Down / Up). These were the cast iron instructions on the huge finishing press housed in the now demolished Finishing Room @sunnybankmills. The Hattersley Looms used pegs and lags to move the warp threads to correspond with the pattern of the cloth. Using these original pegs I made impressions in clay and hand cast jesmonite into these so that I could weave a tangible link to the mill into my own cloth. When hands investigate and move across the finished piece a sound emulates the moving mechanism of the loom. 720 individual jesmonite units cast. One for each person who worked in this vertical textile mill. The fabric of the building connecting memory and place. #fabricofthenorth #cromford #matlock #farsley #farsleycommunity #weave #jesmonite #btgweavers #industrial #textilemill #tapestryweaversofinstagram #tapestryweave #repetition #loom #fiberart
