COE Project - Set of Napkins
The next project is a set of eight napkins. I started with a design and then altered it a little bit to come up with eight variations. This project shows how you can make small changes and have several patterns that are close without being exactly alike. Diversified Plain Weave is also reversible so I could weave these eight designs again and hem them with the reverse side as the front to create a set of sixteen napkins. Color changes are another way to add uniqueness to a set of napkins.
Here is one of the napkins in the set:

Beautiful. Thank you. I’ll keep producing my four shaft towels and the like but will dream about getting a 16 shaft loom.
They’re beautiful… as is the table runner. Tell us more about diversified plain weave!
