The second to last picture in my project to capture calendar colors in towels is November. It is all blues from icy white blue to greenish blue.
These were threaded in an M & W twill pattern and treadled using the same 2-2-1-1-1 twill sequence as the others. I thought I was winding on enough warp for 12 towels however, as I was weaving towels 13-15, I realized I must have made a mistake in the original measurement. Fortunately they turned out looking really nice.
I haven't included detailed pictures of all of the colors since the values were generally close. Here is a selection of the more dramatic results. The weft colors are dark green, crab (light yellow green), light silver and medium silver.
In the course of this exploration into color, I've found that the greys and silvers have been a great addition to the other colors in the pallet.
I bought a set of gray 10/2 cotton from Lunatic Fringe a while back. I'm interested in doing some towels in gradations of gray some day.
I have one more picture to use as inspiration. It's pretty exciting to think about being finished with this project, but it will be a challenging set of colors to work with.
Then I'm not sure what will be next...

Both sets of colors play well within them and then additionally with each other remarkably well. Thank you for the inspiration and demonstration of colors one might not ordinarily put together.
Lynda, Thanks. This exercise has taught me a lot about color and how to get ideas for colors that work well together.
