What is it about towels? Most of us weave them, and some of us weave a lot of them. And it doesn’t matter what structures you weave – plain weave or twill, or what you weave with – floor loom, table loom, or rigid heddles. Sooner or later, it seems we all weave a towel.
Part of the allure has to be their utility. Who doesn’t love a good dish towel? One that doesn’t just move water around but actually soaks it up and pulls it away. And then there’s the tactile dimension. A nice dish towel just has a great feel to it. Sturdy yet still absorbant. Personally, I think it’s the color and design. Handwoven towels come is an endless variety of colors and patterns. No matter what your kitchen looks like there’s a handwoven towel that will feel right at home in your space.
Whatever it is that makes you want to weave a towel, we hope you’ll weave one for the conference and take part in the conference Towel Time towel exchange. Specifications and requirements are on the Towel Time towel exchange page. It’s always a lot of fun to share your work with someone else, and to head home with a nice, new towel to add to your collection and maybe even inspire something new in your next towel.
