Creamsicle Towels
Designed by Elisabeth (Lisa) Hill
“Meta Weave” uses scale or one particular structure to graphically represent a different structure. The Creamsicle Towels use Summer and Winter to depict the elegant over-and-under of Plain Weave. This project offers three treadling variations, ranging from a simple Dukagang pattern to introduce the basics of Summer and Winter, to sequences requiring two treadles and a skeleton tie-up. The combination of Beam 8/2 Organic Cotton and Duet Cotton/Linen creates soft, plump towels with fantastic sheen and drape. Tie-up adaptation for Countermarch looms included. Order a kit.
