A nice easy relaxing weave while I was contemplating a couple of other projects in the future.

I made two with all white weft and two with stripes at top and bottom, and finally a bread cloth with stripes to square.

As usual tabs woven on the inkle loom in the same yarns and colours as the towels

The blue stripes are linen 16 doubled.

Lovely

These are lovely! I have some 16/2 cotton that I keep pushing to the back of the shelf because of the sett required. Would 16 ends/cm equal about 40 ends per inch?

Yes it would, and it is a nice quality, so go ahead and get it out of hiding, ok?
