Week 2 Lab Data Group 1 : Wool

Attached is a comprehensive overview of the recorded data that includes experiential data such as how we felt during the process, the frequency of our thread breakage, and overall how the different types of wool felt and acted in the process of spinning

As far as experimentation goes, we mostly recorded 3 grams of wool from the beginning process of Carding, to spinning, and then measuring the outcome (length of threaded produced). This part also includes timing the process and using tools like a measuring tape. References (image) to the start and end of the carding process are located below.

Data:

  • Wool Mass
  • Task
  • Time
  • Output length
  • Breakage Frequency

Images (Carding):

Uncarded Wool
3 Grams of Uncarded Wool
Carded Wool
Outcome/Carded wool (same amount on both card)

Weaving:

The weaving portion of the lab ended up being the least enjoyable for most of my group. Going in, we expected it to be the most fun because of its creative potential, but we quickly realized it was actually quite tedious. It demanded constant attention to detail and became more frustrating than spinning or the repetitive motions involved in carding.

Not a lot data here as our group kind of kept spinning here as well.
