 Deflected Doubleweave Towels

Designed by Elisabeth (Lisa) Hill, adapted and woven by Christine Jablonski

Deflected Doubleweave is a magical structure that infuses depth and drama into the simplest threading and easy-to-learn treadling. The combination of this float-rich weave with Duet’s soft cotton bound by fine linen makes these towels soft, thick and absorbent in a stylized, graphic, yet timeless design. This project is most vibrant when woven with high-contrast colors. Pattern includes a Countermarch skeleton tie-up.  Order a kit.

Fun block pattern

One of my first 8 shaft projects! I enjoyed weaving these towels, which wove quite quickly once I got the rhythm of the pattern. I have a question about the hems. Directions say to use yarn from my stash. Does that mean the hem isn't supposed to show? I used yarn from the project and the hems are striped. I would have rather had solid, which is what the pictures look like. How do I get solid color hems?

Hi Drew, we're so glad you enjoyed weaving the towels! The hems are not designed to show. Using a thinner thread from stash decreases bulk. The solid lines you see on the towels are not hems, but the first and last 4 pattern picks.

8 shaft deflected doublweave towels

I wove these towels a couple of times. I really enjoyed them. I had never woven deflected double weave before and I thought it would be intimidating, but these were not hard to weave, and came out really well. I would definitely weave them again.

Love them

A learning experience for me, as I haven’t yet woven deflected double weave, but got the kinks taken care of, and I love my towels
