October Tea Towels

This warp is one of a continuing project to design a towel for each month of the year.  I have given myself certain limitations and requirements on this project. 

This is October towel, it is woven with a linen, cotton, rayon mill end yarn that I found.  The linen gives a bit of "crispness" to the towels and the cotton slub gives a home-spun look.  I meaured out the warp for the stripes and painted the it with procion dyes.  This is where the towels stalled for several years.  Then last december I measured the undyed yarn and put the warp on. 

I am very pleased with the towels, they fit the month well and they feel like they will be good towels to use.
