“…Previous work in stitch had identified the ability to exploit optical mixing which is commonly used in textiles. Warburton and Lund (1956) explored color effects in woven fabrics produced through juxtaposition and size of color units building on Chevreul's 1836 study on color contrast and color harmony based on his experience of dying tapestry threads. They demonstrated the widely used moderation of color in textiles through contiguous color use was the result of size and proximity of discrete color units.…”

Crafted Futures is a craft/technology visual response to William Gott's Dyehouse Pattern Book produced in 1815 whilst Gott was an apprentice in his father's woolen mill. The work utilized craft practice to explore theories of color contrast, assimilation and optical mixing in color production. In collaboration with print technologist Muriel Rigout, applied craft thinking was employed in the development of the work, tacit knowledge of materials and skill were employed with formal color theory, using textile craft processes and digital print as a modelling tool. The project was important as an example of a craft/technology collaboration, identified as a driver for commercial growth. The success of the project was discussed in terms of individual research outcomes, the success of the visual response and the success of the collaborative process. The work was exhibited at Leeds Industrial Museum, Armley Mills, Leeds, 14th October to 27th November 2016.

Although colour is a part of everyday life, as a subject for scientific study it is virtually ignored in school syllabuses. In the author's opinion this is an unfortunate omission as colour lends itself to interesting teaching, fascinating demonstrations and has obvious practical applications. It is also a subject which is ideal as a cross disciplinary study, having aspects which rely on a knowledge of biology, chemistry and physics. The study of colour can be divided into two main sections: firstly, the basic facts of how colour is seen and secondly, the measurement of colour. The first section is a suitable topic for all sixth form students whether they be art or science orientated, whilst the second is more appropriate to science students only.

“…For example, the colour of m elange yarn can be completely different with fibres of the same colour and mixing ratio but using a different spinning process [1][2][3]. The yarn mixes dyed and raw fibres, which can reduce dye consumption.…”

Colour, the first element of quality control of textile products, is a complex subject relating to physical optics, psychology, and the human visual system. Colour matching remains one of the major problems in the textile industry. M elange yarn is a class of textile product with a specific colour appearance, which colour is mainly affected by colour matching of the dyed fibres and their ratio for spinning rather than by the dyeing process. The existing colour matching models for m elange yarn derived from specific types of fibre or specific spinning processes are restricted by the adopted conditions and parameters of the model, resulting in low universal applicability and low accuracy. In this paper, a spectrophotometric colour matching algorithm based on the back-propagation (BP) neural network and its processes were proposed. The weighted average spectrum was predicted by a BP neural network, followed by recipe prediction from the weighted average with constrained least squares. The results showed that the average colour difference of practical samples, based on the prediction of nine blind testing targets, was 0.79 CMC (2:1) units if more than two a priori training samples were used. This result indicated the capability and practicality of accurate prediction of colour matching for top-dyed m elange yarn by this novel method.
