I joined a Towel Exchange this summer that I found through a weaving group on Facebook. I joined primarily cause I had such a great expereience with our Weaving Guild's napkin exchange. This exchange had very few requirements, other than getting the towels completed by the end of August. We used the three photos above for color inspiration, and each of the participants could pick one of the three as the basis for selecting yarn.
I sent off 4 towels and received these four gorgeous towels back from members of the group, with 4 very different structures" Bumbaret, Ms & Ws, Summer and Winter and Shadow Weave blocks. I received towels from, British Columbia, Indiana, Florida and Michigan.
I wove towels in Turned Twill, using purple, pink and orange in the warp and weft colors of navy, green or light blue. I made 6 towels on this warp, so was able to keep 2 towels.
