Stripe Study: White Balance

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 puts the lengthwise stripes center stage, with a white weft softening the wine-colored stripes for a classic look. 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.

Please note that our weaving studio has a feline occupant. While everything is washed and kept away from Miss Cordelia and her voluminous floof after finishing, if you have severe cat allergies you may consider washing your item again before use.
