Turned twill on the wire

still taking my inspiration from the JST online guild (janestaffordtextiles.com/online-guild-episodes) I dove into Season 5 and some glorious turned twill towels. This was great fun and produced stunning towels (IMHO) in many patterns and colours all on one warp. Using 8/2 cotton at 20 epi, I picked colours from my own stash and experimented with combining “unlikely” combos – and they ALL worked. Wow!

These are just off the loom, not yet finished.

Loved all of the patterns, but my favourite was the last one (on the right above) where I used up all the bobbins of 8/2 cotton from several projects.
