Color Gamp Towels

Dive into the world of color with these Color Gamp Towels! This engaging weaving project is not only a delight to create, but it also serves as a valuable lesson in color interaction. By using ten vibrant colors, you’ll explore how different hues blend and contrast in both plain weave and twill patterns.

Each towel allows you to witness firsthand the beautiful dynamics that occur when colors meet, making this a fantastic learning experience for weavers at any skill level. The playful combinations and variations will inspire your creativity while enhancing your understanding of color theory in weaving.
