Dish Towels


 I’ve been weaving dish towels. 


They are easy to weave and great for experimenting. 
I have a lot of 8/2 cottons, which are not my normal colors and I wanted to use them up. 
Dish towels are a great stash buster. 




These are 8-shaft straight draw, which should have been a pinwheel pattern.
 I don’t see a pinwheel. 
Rechecked tie up and treadling and its correct, but no pinwheel. 
I think it is there, but the two similar yarns in color value blurred the pattern. 


No matter, they turned out nice.

We are having sleet mixed with rain this morn.
 Where oh where is spring?
