Currently being woven on the loom are Coral inspired towels. The above picture highlights the center of the towel. The border has already wrapped around the front beam. This is a turned twill or block twill, where one block has the warp yarns mostly on top and the next block has the weft yarns mostly on top. I’m weaving with a 22/2 cottolin yarns, sett at 24 ends/inch on 8 harnesses. Except for the border the weft yarn for this towel is a natural cottolin. Since I will being weaving 5 towels, I plan to use a different weft color in a couple. I can also play with block sizes which will help to make the weaving less boring. This is a favorite weave structure of mine for playing with blocks of color.

Great heron photo! Your towel warp is very pretty. Are you going to throw a few shots of green in there? Just a few?

Diane, Thank you. I’m fascinated by the birds I see at the neighborhood lake. On this towel the front border has some green shots and I have a smaller back border also with a couple of shots. Will probably try to some shots of green in the overall pattern in one of the other towels.

That design is so pretty. When I eventually get to weaving the towels I’m planning they will be that their colour inspiration from the galah, a pink and grey parrot that’s common in my part of the world.

Chris, the twill also forms a diamond pattern in some of the blocks. I’m on my 3rd towel now.
