I got my first batch of towels for Christmas hemmed and pressed at about 8PM Saturday night, just about 12 hours before I needed to put them in gift bags and then into my car for a family holiday celebration. Not that I was cutting it close or anything. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Sunday morning I photographed everything, without a lot of time to make sure the photos all turned out as well as I’d like. What you see is the best I have.<\/p>\n

Everyone is getting two towels that are the same but different. That is, the same yarns in both warp & weft, but different weaving patterns. Most had the same tie up, too, just different treadling. They all obviously have the same warp – a solid cream 8\/2 unmercerized cotton.<\/p>\n

These set of two, to my nephew and his bride of 6 months, is a waffle weave (my first attempt – a 4H) and a twill, both using a barberpole variegated weft.<\/p>\n

The next set, to my niece and her husband of 2 months, is another waffle weave and a different twill, all with the same barberpole weft.<\/p>\n

Next came a set for my middle sister, who lived through weddings of both her kids this year and a move to a new house, then hosted our holiday get-together. What a woman! Her towels have weft of Fox Fiber, that colorgrown cotton that deepens with use.

I was bored with all the neutrals by that time, so my oldest sister got some color in hers! Her kitchen is also neutral colors, but I didn’t care. She got a medium blue weft.<\/p>\n

Now I have to do the tiny bit of hand stitching along the side of the hemmed edge and hard press some more today to bring with me tomorrow.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
