Undulating twill towels

3/30/2020

 

Towels finished. YES!

Picture
This was my first experiment of weaving a project on my own from set up to take down, so I went out and bought a kit from Jane Stafford Textiles called the Undulating Twill Tea Towel. Of course its black and white and grey and charcoal.

This pattern uses 8 shafts and 8/2 cotton.

I set it up early January so that I would have a project to work on while I recovered from hip surgery. I discovered that I had set it up so the design would show on the underside of the loom, but I was ok with that.
Yes, I learned a lot while making 8 towels. And I learned a lot about design along the way. Near the end, I was a little bored and felt like I should be getting back to my wet felting. I took everything off the loom, hand-stitched the hems and put them away. Then I spent two days looking for the next kit or yarn. I just can't seem to handle seeing the empty loom. Who knew?

Would love to show you all my efforts, but until we can get back together again, here they are. I still can't pick a favourite.

Cheers!
Carolyn Steele Lane

The photos of the tea towels look great! I particularly like the tea towel road-made for the cat. That’s a long warp you put on!

And thank you for putting this page together, Carolyn!
