I’ve only been weaving a few months and thought my edges were good enough to venture into weaving a couple of dish towels. TaDa! It was also the first time I hemmed my weaving instead of having a twisted fringe. They are Cotton/Linen and Linen threads. Each slot & hole is threaded twice. I used a new technique to warp the RH using the warping board and the direct warping method, threading both the slots & holes at the same time.

Yay!! I’m a clutz at color and I have just a very small selection of thread that I’ve picked up over the years at fiber festivals knowing that one day I wanted to weave. My husband got me “The Ultimate 3-iin-1 Color Tool” for Christmas and it really helped me with the color selection for this.

Fabulous dish towels, YAY YOU! These are too pretty to use.
I am in awe! I have always wanted to do weaving and borrowed my sisters loom but I find it so intimidating. Your tea towels are awesome!
Weaving is such an impressive craft! Big love for your dish towels; they are incredible!
@anderlance, I was intimidated also but it is the easiest fiber arts for making material when compared to knitting, crochet, or nalbinding. It was the whole “taking the threads from the warping board to the loom” that intimidated me, but then I found direct warping where no warping board is used.
This little video gives a great example of direct warping and weaving on a rigid heddle in general.
