Phase Change Towels
Designed by Jennifer Leigh, woven by Christine Jablonski
This project explores what happens Shadow Weave loses its traditional dark warp and weft float interlacement, which produces the distinctive diagonal lines in an overall design. When dark and light floats interlock, the heavy shadow lines disappear and the pattern shifts “out of phase,” changing the prominent design feature from outline to optical blending. These shifts happen at transition points in the threading and treadling, without having to reverse the warp or weft dark/light sequencing. Order a kit.
I originally bought the pattern and yarn colors in avocado, lemon, blush, and crocus just to see the interaction of those colors. Seemed unlikely, or at least not any colors I would ever put together. The finished towels look amazing. The directions were clear and easy to follow. Then I bought the black, tan, grey, brown cones (with fancy names like acorn and licorice). They are also riveting. I’m currently working on the cobalt, dawn, jam, robin colorway. I have four daughters, five sisters, and a few special friends. These lovely towels will make perfect Christmas presents. I highly recommend the pattern and the yarn.
Beautiful pattern.
