Notes
These towels were an exercise in learning dukagang. There are a set of five towels, one for each season of the year plus Christmas. I used cross stitch patterns from embroidery books for inspiration and created my own designs.
There is a rosepath border at both ends of each towel with the dukagang motif only on one end. Dukagang is worked with the right side facing away from the weaver, so I used a mirror held under the weaving to check my work. There was enough warp left at the end to weave a small wall hanging.
These towels won Honorable Mention in the Handwoven Magazine's "Towels for a New Century" contest.
