Patina Reprise


I made handwoven towels in the 'Patina' colorway a few years ago 

for hostess gifts and just got an order for another. 

so I reordered some more skeins from Carr Park Artisans and wove a few more. 

One is in the kitchen of its new home in Albuquerque NM, 

and these three (scroll down) are ready for the gift show in Edmonds Nov. 15 & 16. 

#heddleandhook  #artistsconnect  #edmondsgiftshow  

Here's the whole process: 

 
Ordered these skeins from Carr Park
 but the brown in the center didn't quite match what my originals were. 
This is typically fine and expected with one of a kind 
hand dyed and handwoven items. 
But I gave it try to do a little matching and over dyed the center sections. 
They came out very close to the previous colors so I was happy with that. 

 
Lined up the colors on the warping board. 


 
tying on to the previous warp on the Louet Spring loom. 
430 little knots to keep straight and organized and to tie. 


 
Now to wind on and get even tension.
Those encyclopedias serve as good weights and 
their weighty history inside will serve well when the electronics fail. 

 
changing weaving pattern between towels 

 
finished towels for your kitchen












More Utilitarian Art Kitchen towels

 

Sold the first batch of 6 in these colors, so I hand dyed my own skeins and made some more similar ones.  Great sturdy, soft, absorbent towels for you and the cooks in your life. 

Getting ready for the Artists Connect gift show November 15 and 16, 2025

    

The dyed skeins, I always forget to get a photo of the dye process. 
With wet gloves on the dye getting on everything It's just as well. 

 
wound into balls.
Oh, I think this would make a good tweed scarf in these colors, too.

finished! and ready for your kitchen
