I volunteered to weave a new altar cloth for my church, now I'm not sure where to start. What fiber should I use? I had Tencel in mind because I like the sheen and feeling of luxury, but I haven't been able to find Tencel in white, only natural. I'm afraid natural will look tan next to the other white altar cloths. Does anyone know a source for white Tencel, or bamboo? Or should I just stick with a perle cotton?
Any ideas on patterns? I was going to use plain weave, with huck lace sections at each end. Any drafts already made up?
Thanks in advance for any advice or suggestions.
