Cotton Vs.Wool

COTTON VS.WOOL 
This time around i have been put on one of the electric looms,which is intimidating but exciting. Because of this I can now experiment with a technique called 'seer sucker'. To be able to do this you must have two different types of yarns-threads on two different beams, as to allow you to change the tension.
Originally I had planned to use just wool, but discovering they treads had to be different 'types' i added in some cotton to the plan. 
The image above is a picture of the thread wrap where i incorporated cotton into the all wool plan. I had to add sections in the middle of the wool so it would pucker. (The colours stayed the same, but they were in cotton rather than wool).
