patterned weave development

I have been developing the looped weave intensively. I really like the effects, 3d quality, chunkiness. But i feel as though it limits me with pattern and variations for my final collection of fabric which is why I have chosen to add another structure to break up my collection, create more interest.
Based on scar patterns, it uses several ends in each heddle to create a large scale pattern which I think will be very striking from away, when in colours.


i have experimented with colour in illustrator, layering and trying to picture the final outcome. I think this more linear patterned weave does sit well with the loop structure. They are both fluid and textural, mimicking the scarification texture of the skin I have been researching:
