From SUNBURST skein to FIESTA TOWELS

  Fiesta colors for my next set of towels

#heddleandhook #handweaving #blazingshuttles

5 towels and one end of warp experiment with treadling variations.

I used two handdyed Blazing Shuttles 'Sunburst' skeins with 8 little solid stripes. Wefts were turquoise, fuchsia, jaune, orange, and aqua with different treadle patterns for each. The table mat, woven with black, was my own design using varied treadling.

I used 18epi for this 6/2 RS cotton. they came out nice and thick with great texture. 

 

 

 

 

 

RETURNING TO THE LOOMS LATE SUMMER 2025

 Inspired by weaver friend to not let empty looms sit. I'm back to my looms.

Here's my next set of towels in process. So long story: I had two skeins of Blazing Shuttles handdyed cotton in color Smoke and Rust that I wanted to have some black sections. So I overdyed a part of them last week. I'm happy how they turned out. I got a 6 yard warp out of them on Sunday and then tied on 432 threads to my Louet Spring loom yesterday along with the addition of some handdyed Eugene Textile cottolin multi color threads for some color pop variety. Started the first towel this morning. First towel weft color of black, considering maybe a gold for one, and then the the other 4--who knows....

 

I ended up weaving three with noir- black and 3 with rouge vin- wine.
