Thank you, Cathie & Peg!

These are just plain fun. Each new warp is like being set loose with a brand new box of crayons.

These towels are gorgeous! I'm a new weaver and am still trying to understand overshot. Did you use the 10/2 cotton for both the pattern and tabby? Or did you use something else for the tabby? Thanks!

Hi, Susan Claire

The 10/2 cotton is the pattern weft -- it changed with each of these towels. The dark brown 20/2 is the warp and the tabby weft for each of them. Typically, the same size and color is used for both warp and tabby weft in overshot and similar weave structures.

I was taught that if all the pattern weft was carefully cut away, the remaining cloth should be a perfectly balanced plain weave otherwise known as the "ground cloth". The hems on my towels are that plain tabby weave with no pattern weft.

Hope this helps.

Weave on,

Notes

This is my second warp of Norse Kitchen Miniature Overshot kitchen towels.

These are fun to weave and fun to use.
