Hi to all who read this,
I am new to Weavolution so if I do something wrong please let me know.
I currently have a naked loom (shock horror) and rather than putting on yet another scarf/shawl/throw, I thought I might try my hand at tea towels. After having done some research I decided on using 5/2 Pearl Cotton, however, when I mentioned this to a friend she said that Pearl Cotton was not suitable for tea towels because it does not absorb water well.
Trying to be logical about this predicament I took some pearl cotton and some linen and put them into puddles of water that I splashed on the counter top. The linen was more absorbent, but after some time the pearl cotton did take up the water.
Does anyone out there in weaving land have any suggestions? Or has anyone woven tea towels with Pearl Cotton and been happy with the absorbent quality.
Sorry if this is a silly question, but the more research I do, the more confused I get.
Any suggestions gratefully appreciated.
Happy Weaving
Belinda
