My only regret is not having wound a longer warp! I was low on the black 10/2 cotton, so I only wound an 8 towel warp. Thankfully, I've restocked, so I can weave some more!

Handwoven Rainbow Black Towels
I finished the towels! These may be my favorite so far. The rainbow colors against the black background remind me of stained glass. 10/2 cotton, hand-hemmed, 16"x24".

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!
