Weaving

Remember Those Towels?

Posted on by Jean

I finally finished up my first floor loom project.  They’ve been off the loom since before we moved last Summer, but I finally finished the ends and washed them.  The reason I held on so long is because, for some weird reason, I didn’t weave the ends in while I wove.  I haven’t gotten any idea why I did this because I know better.  I blame it on the stress of the move we were about to make and the high I was on from buying our house.  I asked for some help on the Warped Weavers forum on Ravelry and a few people said to just wash them. They’d full enough that when I just snipped off the ends, they’d be fine.  They were right.  I guess time will tell, but they really look melded together.  Yeah.

I blogged all about them here and here, but finally finished them up.   A little wrinkled but the feel is fabulous!  I LOVE these towels.  After washing they have softened up incredibly.  LOVE it!

8/2 Cotton/Linen 4-Shaft Twill Towels.  The towel on the far right is my own pattern you can find here.

Draft can be found on the Webs website.  The pattern is free when you buy the yarn.

    These look wonderful. Forgive my ignorance, but what kind of towels are they? What size are they, what fiber are they made of, and what will they be used for? I am fascinated by the design, so intriguing.

    Jean – these are beautiful. I can’t believe they’re a first loom project. They look so wonderful, it’s as if you’ve been weaving on a loom forever. Great work.
