For four finger tips towels I used Lily's Sugar'n Cream cotton yarn.
Warp: 102 ends, 2 m alternating 2 white and 2 cream ends (did not have enough yarn of either colour). 8" reed.
Weft: Lily's Sugar'n Cream Stripes Blue and Lime
Finished size: 27 x 31 cm

As I was very pleased both with the process and the result, I ordered more Sugar'n Cream cotton in different colours for a complete set of my bonbon towels. The second batch was woven in February 2013.
Complete set for the bathroom.

These are great! Nice work! I just bought a small loom and I wonder, how did you finish off the ends between the towels? Wouldn't they just unravel if there are no knots?
ReplyDeleteI'll wait for your answer to start… I don't want to mess things up…

I hemstitch ends of the towels while they are still on the loom. Than i cut them apart leaving a short one inch fringe at both sides. They do not unravel, and after a couple of washes they fluff a bit and become very strong.
DeleteHappy weaving! I am sure you will enjoy it.
These look great! Did you warp double ends or single?
ReplyDeleteHola. Cuantos colores utilizas en cada toalla y como logras que los bordes queden parejos.
ReplyDeleteWhite in the warp and Lily's Sugar'n cream multicoloured yarn in the weft, just one ball for every towel. Liana
