I love having such a great assortment of colors of yarn to play and experiment with! I just finished up these towels using a combination of red and orange yarns...
I'm tempted to use these in my own kitchen... we'll see! The yarn is a combination of Valley 8/2 cotton from WEBS and Bluegrass Mills cotton 6/2 yarn from The Woolery.They are done in waffle weave using a 10 dent heddle on my rigid heddle loom. The binding is an Allison Glass quilting cotton that I love!
With my extra warp, I played around with learning how to do a clasped weft. This is something I look forward to exploring further! On the bottom is a clasped weft with doubled threads, on the top is single. I think I like the subtlety of the single threads much better...

Those are lovely! It almost makes you want to wash dishes... but not quite!! =)
They are too pretty to use . . . I would hang them up for show and use my old ones :)
You are having fun playing with your yarns and making lovely towels,
