I promised a POLL!
And here it is!
My towel warp is working out nicely. I've woven four towels using tan 8/2 unmercerized cotton,
and two (so far) using cotton/linen in a cornflower blue.
This is the first time I've woven with any linen content, and boy, it's interesting! Kind of hairy, and I find that it really grabs onto itself when the pirn gets down to the last little bits of weft. I will weave another 2 towels with this weft, and then must decide what to do for the last 4 towels. On to the poll:
A) Should I weave the last four towels as a set, i.e. all the same color? Or, given my stash, which I'll show you in a moment, should I weave different colors for each one? After all, most folks seem to buy one towel at a time.
B) Which colors should I use?
I have enough for a set in the dusty rose (upper left), aqua (lower left), medium blue (back center), and medium green (back right). I MAY have enough for a set with the medium purple in front as well. The lavender (small cone in back on top) is the one I wove the small sample with, plus there is the bright red and the burnt orange.
Let your voices be heard!! Tell me your favorites, and how many of each I should weave! But you'd better let me know soon, because it won't take me long to weave the last 2 cotton/linen towels.
Thanks for stopping by and helping me out!
