I'm having to do a bit more thinking about weft colors with this set of towels. I started with
champagne (yellow) and cactus (blue green) but I wasn't sure what to use next. I could use the dark green in the weft, but I was afraid it would just cover over all the nice warp colors. I am still thinking about the light blue, but I picked the brown I used in the warp. It is a medium brown that is a little reddish. I like the result, even though it does kind of overpower the warp colors.
The colors don't reproduce really well in this picture, but it gives the idea. For this towel, I am weaving as threaded - that is treadle 1 through 8 / 1 through 8 / 7 through 1 / 8 through 1. This is creating larger more regular diamonds. I like the way it looks, but I have to think more when I weave this design.
