Two-ply fabric, handwoven at the Selectron loom.
Leonie Burkhardt's concern is to process European flax in its various shapes and variations - from the raw material to the spun and dyed yarn - in her series of weaving experiments “Linum”. She would like to raise awareness of European flax. Although this is one of the few natural fibre plants that can be grown, processed and produced into fabric in Europe, this processed linen only make up a small proportion of the fabrics sold in Europe and used for the clothing industry. In her series, Leonie Burkhardt would like to combine the various processing stages of flax in one fabric. That is why she employs in addition to the finished linen yarn which serves as weft yarn the raw and partly processed flax fibres in various roasts. The fabrics were woven on different looms - a keyboard loom and a Selectron loom - to achieve different effects. The loom was drawn in batches in order to achieve a certain rhythm, underlined by the use of black and white, and to bring out the material particularly well. The fabrics combine smooth areas with different patterns and different fibre insertions that can appear as loops, fringes or strands.
