After weaving some classic coloured tea towels, with blue, red, natural and grey, I am back to weaving lots of colour. I picked up some colours that were very different to what I usually choose (I love autumn colours). I picked Boucle cotton which is a cotton that gives a lovely texture to your hand woven material. These plain weave tea towels are sett at 12 and they finish up very soft, thick and textured. The colours come from Jane Stafford's tea towel colour way called "Desert Sunset". It was fun to design the tea towel using Jane's colour palette. I would love to see what other weavers have done with the same kit. Send me a picture if you have woven these towels. Design ideas are infinite.
Now speaking of colour, I just attended a craft fair over on Pender Island, and I was placed next to a talented lady who felts. Her display was full of imagination and colour. When the children walked through the doors they were immediately drawn to Debs' table of gnomes and fish and fanciful things. Funny enough I had won her felted Chicken at the Fibrations Fair in the summer.
I acquired a gnome who needed a home. He seems very happy in mine.
