Rainbow Black Towels in Progress

The rainbow warp on the Baby Wolf has been waiting patiently while I spun more silk and plied up Mr. Debbie's polwarth wool sweater yarn (1750 yards! I'll show you that when it's been washed and dried...)

I started weaving yesterday, and I'm super-pleased with the fabric that's emerging:

The draft is called "breaks and recesses", and those little swirls will turn into little flowerets when the towels are washed. I love how the black makes the colors POP!

    I love the pattern. And black is definitely the right choice for working with bright rainbow colors.
