I decided to use up some cones of 8/2 cotton, predominantly shades of green, and weave some tea towels using bumberet weave. I didn’t bother to work out a colour sequence before winding the warp other than winding groups of three to work with the threading. However I was forced to ignore this plan and change colours part way through a group of three in a few places when I ran out of a colour. I was a bit worried when weaving the towels that this was a bad mistake and I should have planned the colours a bit better but once the towels were all finished I’m quite happy with the results.


Threading: point twill on 4 shafts Warp sett: 22 epi
