Such Beautiful Towels!

I was looking for towels in a red/purple colorway and came upon this pattern by Sarah Jackson from a back issue of Handwoven (March/April 2016, pages 26–28.) I had never woven Taqueté before but I loved every minute of watching this fabric come to life. I gave two of the towels as a gift to a young bride and groom. I already ordered another round of yarn and will be weaving these Gee's Bend Quilt inspired towels again.
