Weaver Notes

This Handweaving.net draft was enhanced with the use of color warp stripes and can then be woven in a number of complementary weft colors.

I found some errors in the original draft which I corrected. I changed the widths of the straight twill, braided twill and half-basket elements and half-basket weave sections.

There were 410 ends sett at 20 epi. Towels were finished with a hand-sewn hem, then machine washed and dried.
