Rewards...
The weaving is progressing with the steady rhythm of my treadling dance; 2-3-2; 4-5-4 again and again. This is the pattern on page37 (bottom photo) of Handweavers Pattern Directory. I am using 8/2 cotton from HalcyonYarns. Cream was used for all the warp and I will change the colors for the weft making each dish towel unique in patter and color. The weave will get closer and fluffier after washing. I like having the loom in the livingroom!

ReplyDeleteThat's a great summer combo, reminds me of checkered table linen and bbq.
ReplyDeleteLooking good!!
ReplyDeleteAlmost all of my dishtowels have been a striped warp with striped weft. My next set will be a solid warp and a different color weft for each towel. Glad you're having fun doing that! I'm sure I will too!
