This was set up for the 100 Mile Fleece & Fibre festival in the Parksville/Coombes area of BC.  I took my loom with the local Salt Spring fibres and invited people to try it out.  Have taken it off the loom and will wash and felt it and make it into a 100 Mile Bag.

Happy Weaving!

Notes: 

I am weaving some cotton twill towels for my kitchen and for gifts.  I used one of Sharon Alderman's fabrics, swatch collection #7, page 112, in a Handweaver's Notebook, for inspiration for these towels.  I have been choosing various twills from The Handweaver's Pattern Directory, by Anne Dixon.  I am doing a row of leno along the edge of each towel just to add visual interest.  This has been a fun project so far and I have four towels done.
