all that’s left of 3.5 pounds of fine red singles linen
about 30 yards of red tea towels on the beam
There was enough warp for one more towel – but I decided I’d had enough. Plus if I’m going to get them cut/serged and wet finished, I needed to be done.
We have 6 days between the two shows and there is a possibility that I can get these towels ready to be hemmed during quiet times at the next show. Who knows, maybe I can even sell some of them? They would make great festive cloths for the coming holiday season.
The design is a twill block version of Young Lover’s Knot traditional overshot pattern. The red on red makes them look quite elegant.
Loom waste on this warp is 2 yards, but since I wound 36 yards, I’m not feeling terribly guilty about ‘wasting’ it.
