First Project of 2024

 

The first weaving project of 2024-

three thread herringbone twill kitchen towels 

woven with a blend of 8/2 cotton and 22/2 cottolin yarns from my stash.

I’m weaving the towels on my Louët Jane loom, 

which is such a pleasure to weave on.

I put on a warp long enough for sampling plus three kitchen towels.

I’m weaving the first towel with two yellows, one orange and a bright turquoise yarn.

I decided to change it up a bit this time,

 alternating three thread herringbone twill with turquoise stripes in plain weave.

Don’t you just love the interplay of the yarns across the cloth?

Weaving is such a rewarding hobby.

2024 is going to be a great year, 

I just know it.

For the weavers out there-

• Three Thread Herringbone pattern is from page 24 in A Handweaver’s Pattern Book
• 3 towels with the dimensions of 22 x 36 inches (56 x 91 cm)
• Warp length of 4 yards (3.65 m)
• 24 epi
• 530 total ends with two floating

Weave on,

Judy
