So far, very good. I am halfway into weaving the first towel.
This was a fun project. Deborah's Zoom class on the process was helpful.
I got the Fall color collection. I feel like the towels are very busy - a combo of the varied colors and the varied weaving patterns. I may try the summer collection, it looks like a more monotone color scheme (mostly blues) so it will allow the pattern to be more prominent. I gifted the towels so I'm curious how they will 'wash and wear', it was my first Cotton Clouds project, probably not my last.
