Inspired by crop fields on my travels around Yorkshire and other parts of the UK, this rug or wall hanging was designed to emulate the structure and colour through sculpting the pure wool pile.

Andrew Warburton created a workshop opportunity for the public to have a go at hand tufting and contribute to a community created hand tufted textile wall hanging.

Inspired by walks through the fields around West Yorkshire and the changing view of the field directly in front of Area Rugs workshop in Mirfield, this HAY BALE design rug or wall hanging evokes the movement of the ploughed lines of cultivation but using a palette of expressive, counterintuitive custom dyed pure wool colours.
