Pinstripe Towels

Warp and weft:  Gist Beam 8/2 organic cotton in Natural, Elderberry, Crocus, and Dawn

Draft:  Pinstripe Towels by Gist Yarn

18 EPI
360 ends
20” wide on loom

1st warp: 6 yards (next time 15” shorter = five 30” long pieces)
2nd warp:  4.75 yards (perfect length for four 30” long pieces)

'I wove 4 picks of thicker scrap yarn between each towel, then after off the loom, sewed two rows of zigzag stitch on the ends of each towel, then cut apart in the middle of the scrap yarn.  Machine washed cold, tumbled dry on delicate.  I liked the short fringe, so I kept that instead of hemming the ends.
