The tea
towels are finished, even hemmed and wet finished. In the end there were 17 exactly with nothing
left over for a bread cloth, all different colours which probably says
something about my stash.
I think
that as I chose the colours, at the back of my mind was the market customer who
claims that ‘they wouldn’t match my kitchen’.
I’ve covered a lot of bases this time.
The only towel which wasn’t really great was the yellow one, simply
because there wasn’t enough contrast between the yellow and the natural. On the other hand, it would have been perfect
in my 1970s kitchen, the very first room I decorated in my first house.
I had already woven the light orange and the lime towels, the other colours in the wallpaper and knew I had to do the yellow one just in case anyone is still in their 1970s kitchen or maybe it’s come back into fashion again.

contrast
Low contrast
Primaries
Secondaries
A rainbow
The purple
one which works well by itself
and the terra cotta one which is another loner
And here’s the
complete collection
I’ve had
fun with these and even if the colour isn’t an exact match, well it can always
contrast and show that ‘tea towels are the cushions of the kitchen’
