Onward and Upward Towels

Interesting clasped weft technique

Loved trying an alternative clasped weft technique. It reduces the draw-in that can occur with same shed clasped weft. You still have to be careful how the wefts cross and return, but personally, I think this method easier and neater, especially on thin weft yarns where the bumps show. Overall, I enjoyed this pattern. I could imagine where you could reverse the pattern in the middle to create a mountain-like pattern, or change weft colors.

Onward and upward towels

Great pattern. The modified clasped weft technique avoids the double weft yarn. I have used a stick to lift the shed for the desired section on each clasped weft. It may take more time but I found it easier that way.

Onward and Upward Towels

Great pattern. I liked the variation on the clasped weft.
