Stripe Study: Thirds
I tend to be a planner, in weaving and in life, so my challenge to myself for the end of summer was to work my way through a warp without a plan—to improvise my way and trust that it would all work out in the end. I couldn't be more pleased with how the experiment turned out! Warpwise stripes in white and wine interact beautifully with a variety of weft colors and sequences, each one unique.
This towel features wide stripes of brick and wine, showing off a fun textural effect called tracking: the twist in the yarn creates occasional short diagonal lines, making plain weave look far more complex than it is! Like all H&Q towels, it has a handy twill tape loop so you can easily hang it up for quick access and fast drying.
