Heather MacKenzie : CMYK Pattern Library

$50.00

FOR A LIMITED TIME ONLY!
LMRM will stock these patterns from Nov 10 - Jan 31, 2026.

As part of our artist-led workshops, we are now partnering with our workshop artists to sell pattern libraries tailored to their experimental warp at LMRM. On Nov 8, 2025 we ran a CMYK warp weaving workshop, ZIGZAG: Color-alternating Twills, led by led by Heather MacKenzie.

In this one day workshop, Heather mapped out some core permutations, and then walked through the basics of drafting doublecloth, color-alternating twills, and other structures that emphasize the vibrational, graphic directionality of twill structures (while also managing the floats). This fundamental weaving structure is infinite on its own but “twilling” a CMYK warp brings us into a whole new realm (and these permutations only multiply when we weave with two weft colors!).

From the workshop, Heather has built a package of structure files tailored to the CMYK warp available for purchase!

Patterns in this library set include:

8-point color-alternating doublecloth twill for 2 wefts (84 structures)
Multiple variations of color-alternating twills, left and right handed (helpful for balancing ppi with other structures)
Multiple shaded satin structures, summer/winter, and quad cloth structures (to create fully saturated fields of color, and to play with color and weave)

Upon purchase, you will receive a downloadable link to the pattern library. We ask that you keep this link for your individual viewing, out of respect for our invited artists' labor in putting together this knowledge for you.

Heather MacKenzie is an artist, electrician, and educator with a practice founded in hand weaving based in Minneapolis, MN. The scale of their woven work is wide-ranging, from palm-sized weavings that explore mathematical models to a hand-woven bolt of cloth encoding a French Enlightenment text. From queer heirlooms to more abstract sculptural and installation works made using the TC2 loom, Heather delights at the intersection of the experimental, technical, and sensual worlds that weaving exists within. They are particularly interested in how cloth can behave queerly, creating forms that buck linear conventions, sprout cheeky flaps and folds, and generally escape the rectilinear premise of the loom.
