Well, these towels are finally finished -- well almost. I have to hem three of them yet. They turned out pretty well and are very soft. I tried not to beat them very hard. The sett was 25 epi and the average picks per inch was 22-23, so a little bit less dense than the sett.
The twill pattern is very pleasing as well. It is an 8-shaft 3-3-2-1 twill. I am not sure which weft I like the best. I used the three different colors from the warp - natural, medium brown and a combination of natural and medium brown. When weaving with the natural, I thought it might be too much contrast, but now that they are finished and washed, it looks good as well.
The natural cotton colors are so beautiful together. Lovely looking towels.
ReplyDeleteThose are wonderful - just wow! Would you mind bringing a couple of them to the April meeting? Though it has snowed the entire day, we're still planning to come over.
