Description
Weaving multiples of the same draft can get pretty boring, but puttingon a long warp when weaving towels, for instance, makes more sense than puttingon a short warp. The idea behind ValleyYarns Spring Towels was a challenge to weave several different towels on thesame threading and mostly on the same treadling but changing the tie-up toachieve a variety of patterns with a minimum of effort. The result is a 4-in-1draft of 4 different towels on one warp. It keeps it interesting and is easy tomanage, even for newer weavers. Use our colorway or choose your own colors tomatch your kitchen. Challenge yourself to some weaving fun!
