Balancing the Elements Towel Pattern

I love weaving in simple stripes but wanted to add contrast to my stripes to make things more interesting. The warp is a repeating pattern of two different number sequences, so the stripes are balanced making the warp order easy follow. Both rigid heddle and 4-shaft patterns are included in this kit so that everyone can enjoy this project. The rigid heddle towels are woven in plain weave structure while the 4-shaft towels can be woven in either plain weave or twill. This is a great project for beginners!  Weave structure: plain weave or twill Yarns: Aurora Earth 8/2 Cottons Equipment needed:  4-shaft or Rigid Heddle Loom; 20” weaving width; 10 dent reed; 1 shuttle. Finished size: two hemmed towels approximately 16.5” x 27” hemmed. Available as a kit: Balancing the Elements Towels Designed by Jodi Ybarra Photos by Jessica Ybarra
