Trompe L'oeil Towels
Designed by Elisabeth (Lisa) Hill
For the last several years, Elisabeth has been interested in what she calls meta weave – any woven motif that looks like an interlacement of threads. These towels are a result of exploringmeta possibilities on four shafts, using a high-contrast accent color in warp and weft to create a 3D effect, essentially a woven trompe l'oeil. Beam 8/2 Organic Cotton and Mallo Cotton Slub work wonderfully together to make fun and functional towels in Summer and Winter weave. Order a kit.
I enjoyed this project and learned a few things in the process. Most notably, weaving an unbalanced pattern on a counterbalance loom is not something I would do again! 🫣 I wasn’t aware of the fact that the pattern required an unbalanced tie-up until after purchasing it. I’ll know in the future to check with Gist. However Anna was very helpful and it wasn’t too much of an issue. I’m pleased with the results.
I enjoyed weaving this. And I enjoyed someone doing my calculations 🤣🤣
