That's the first project I did on my own loom, after taking a couple of classes at the local guild. It's a 4 shaft counterbalance Melville, that my Mom used to use. Here's my warp:  On the loom, with the awesome bench my husband made:  Glamour shot:  Cut apart before hemming:  Stack of finished towels:  Oh, and I thought this was interesting, since I was able to compare. This is before (on the bottom) and after wet finishing. I thought it was cool how you can see the significant difference in texture (and size - the other edge was lined up when I took this shot).

It's taken me three days just to sley the reed. 8/2 cotton Yeah, I had a really hard time getting this project threaded on... Partly because I wasn't thinking and put the counting thread more or less in the middle, and on a warp as long as this one, that meant Bad Things for trying to stay organized.
