Different towels for each season. Here was the criteria I used:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>I wouldn&#8217;t buy any yarn for these projects, instead using only yarns from my stash.<\/li>\n<li>I would give her 2 towels for each season and have 2 additional towels per season. I would have loved to have more &#8216;extra&#8217; towels, but time was not on my side since I didn&#8217;t get the first towel started until after Thanksgiving. So I warped for 4 towels per season.<\/li>\n<li>I would use different weaving drafts for the towels: 1 crackle, 1 lace, 1 straight draw, and 1?? Except I ended up doing 2 straight draw because of the number of colors in the warps.<\/li>\n<li>My daughter would get the towels with any weaving errors, selvedge issues, or other imperfections; I&#8217;d sell the others.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>All towels were woven predominantly with Maurice Brassard 8\/2 cotton. Here&#8217;s the info and photos of each towel set.<\/p>\n<p>Christmas towels: warp: cerise; weft: 1 red, 2 raspberry, 1 gris pale (I thought the pale gray would look like silver with the cerise. It just looks dull. I also ran out of warp for this one so it&#8217;s quite short.)<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/secondwindjewelry.com\/jewelry-weaving-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Christmas-towels.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6948\" src=\"https:\/\/secondwindjewelry.com\/jewelry-weaving-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Christmas-towels.jpg\" alt=\"Christmas towels\" width=\"450\" height=\"355\" srcset=\"https:\/\/secondwindjewelry.com\/jewelry-weaving-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Christmas-towels.jpg 450w, https:\/\/secondwindjewelry.com\/jewelry-weaving-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Christmas-towels-300x237.jpg 300w, https:\/\/secondwindjewelry.com\/jewelry-weaving-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Christmas-towels-150x118.jpg 150w, https:\/\/secondwindjewelry.com\/jewelry-weaving-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Christmas-towels-400x316.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Springtime towels: warp: vert pale, cobalt, handpainted cotton\/hemp; weft: 2 jaune pale, 1 orange pale, 1 vert pale<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/secondwindjewelry.com\/jewelry-weaving-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/springtime-towels.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6949\" src=\"https:\/\/secondwindjewelry.com\/jewelry-weaving-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/springtime-towels.jpg\" alt=\"springtime towels\" width=\"450\" height=\"279\" srcset=\"https:\/\/secondwindjewelry.com\/jewelry-weaving-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/springtime-towels.jpg 450w, https:\/\/secondwindjewelry.com\/jewelry-weaving-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/springtime-towels-300x186.jpg 300w, https:\/\/secondwindjewelry.com\/jewelry-weaving-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/springtime-towels-150x93.jpg 150w, https:\/\/secondwindjewelry.com\/jewelry-weaving-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/springtime-towels-400x248.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Summer towels: warp: homestead cotton baby blue, blue, nassau blue, Maurice Brassard vert pale; weft: 1 pale blue, 1 A Touch of Twist variegated cotton slub, 2 plaid<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/secondwindjewelry.com\/jewelry-weaving-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/summertime-towels.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6950\" src=\"https:\/\/secondwindjewelry.com\/jewelry-weaving-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/summertime-towels.jpg\" alt=\"summer towels\" width=\"450\" height=\"304\" srcset=\"https:\/\/secondwindjewelry.com\/jewelry-weaving-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/summertime-towels.jpg 450w, https:\/\/secondwindjewelry.com\/jewelry-weaving-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/summertime-towels-300x203.jpg 300w, https:\/\/secondwindjewelry.com\/jewelry-weaving-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/summertime-towels-150x101.jpg 150w, https:\/\/secondwindjewelry.com\/jewelry-weaving-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/summertime-towels-400x270.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Autumn towels: warp: orange pale, brun moyen, limette pale, orange brule, cerise, jaune fonce, sapin, rouille, olive; weft: 1 orange brule, 1 rouille, 2 cerise<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/secondwindjewelry.com\/jewelry-weaving-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/autumn-towels.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6951\" src=\"https:\/\/secondwindjewelry.com\/jewelry-weaving-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/autumn-towels.jpg\" alt=\"Autumn towels\" width=\"450\" height=\"265\" srcset=\"https:\/\/secondwindjewelry.com\/jewelry-weaving-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/autumn-towels.jpg 450w, https:\/\/secondwindjewelry.com\/jewelry-weaving-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/autumn-towels-300x177.jpg 300w, https:\/\/secondwindjewelry.com\/jewelry-weaving-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/autumn-towels-150x88.jpg 150w, https:\/\/secondwindjewelry.com\/jewelry-weaving-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/autumn-towels-400x236.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Now you&#8217;ve seen it all&#8230;what came off my loom recently and what&#8217;s on it now.
