Striped Spring Towels by Robyn Spady 4-Shaft Project "When I first looked at Pantone’s Spring 2011 color collection “An Exotic Journey,” I was intrigued by the joy of the colors, e specially appealing during a dark and dreary Northwest winter. Dish towels, always a favorite project of mine, seemed like just the right canvas for this palette! I planned ten twill stripes and eleven basketweave stripes across the width of a 22" towel. The relationship between the twill and basketweave stripe widths is determined by the Golden Ratio (twill stripe width is .618 times the basketweave stripe width; see Resources). The point-twill direction in alternate stripes is reversed, creating a subtle difference between them." -Robyn Spady STRUCTURE 2/2 twill and basketweave FINISHED DIMENSIONS Three hemmed towels, 21" × 32" each YARNS Warp: 10/2 pearl cotton at 4,200 yd/lb, UKI), 1,592 yd Deep Lavender #93, 320 yd Gold #10, 120 yd each of Bermuda Blue #109, Light Orange #67, Periwinkle #146, Dark Fuchsia #56, and Scarab #53.
