Onward and Upward Towels
Designed by Jennifer E. Kwong
These asymmetrical towels are created using a modified Clasped Weft technique that facilitates tidy selvedges and takes the guesswork out of the placement of the clasp. This project is woven with a soft cotton slub warp and a crisp cotton/linen weft. Order a kit.
Pattern downloads include files for both rigid heddle and shaft loom weaving. Yardage requirements vary based upon the loom.
Loved trying an alternative clasped weft technique. It reduces the draw-in that can occur with same shed clasped weft. You still have to be careful how the wefts cross and return, but personally, I think this method easier and neater, especially on thin weft yarns where the bumps show. Overall, I enjoyed this pattern. I could imagine where you could reverse the pattern in the middle to create a mountain-like pattern, or change weft colors.
Great pattern. The modified clasped weft technique avoids the double weft yarn. I have used a stick to lift the shed for the desired section on each clasped weft. It may take more time but I found it easier that way.
Great pattern. I liked the variation on the clasped weft.
I learned a new technique with this detailed step-by-step pattern. The photo-tutorial helped me a lot as I am a beginner weaver and a visual weaver. I am using this technique for a scarf I am weaving and recommend this pattern to anyone who wants to incorporate a diagonal, crisp, clean cut-off between colors!
