- 16" Harp loom
- Heddle width: 15"
- Heddle size: 10
- Fiber: 8/2 cotton (3360 yrd/lb)
- Towel finished size: 14 X 22 inches
I have been reading about kitchen towels. The 14 inches width was the lowest number for average dish towel width. One weaver said for absorpancy and softness she likes 8/2 cotton, a size 10 heddle with double threads in the warp and single threads in the weft. I used 20 epi in the warp calculation since the threads were doubled..
According to the Weavolution Calculator, I would need 16.8 inches weaving width on the loom.
I reduced the finished width to 12.5 inches and that gave a weaving width of 15 inches. Can I use the entire heddle width?
Will 12.5 inches width look wrong for a towel? more like an extra long dish washing rag?
