Embossed Towels
Designed by Katie Strano
These towels are based on classic M’s & W’s and Crackle threading. The excitement comes in with the way that the warp threads are sleyed in the reed. A Crammed and Dented method is used to place the warp yarn back and forth from extremes of very tight to very open setts. The result is that the motif when woven with a single weft yarn and no tabby, becomes very 3-dimensional creating motifs that are reminiscent of embossed art deco designs. Two tie-up options are provided. Weave one of each, or pick your favorite. Order a kit.

I enjoyed weaving these towels. The weave used crammed and spaced denting, so tension and beating the weft in was sometimes challenging due to higher friction in the crammed dent areas. It comes out looking really good. I don't think I would like them as much if they weren't crammed and spaced.

Much prettier than the photos and a fun weave.
