Notes

Always a fun weave…. from picking doubled end for the stripe effect (great way to use up small cones) and it seems just about any colour you pick works as weft.

There is a formula that seems to help though: deep hue colours for the stripes… and half hue colours for the weft. I use a natural or white as the warp between the stripes.

I had 8 yards on and got 7 towels that measured 22.5” by 30” after hand hemming.

I know that I will be weaving these again….. grinrainbow
