Just thought I'd mention that I have finished and posted the linen towels I had mentioned and shown when in progress a while back. They came out really nice I think.
I used unbleached cotton 16/2 for warp and unbleached linen 16/1 for weft. For the inkle bands I used linen 16/2 "boiled" (that's what it said! I fell for the slightly rugged look of it a while back and bought a cone)
Just found the picture of your towels and they are lovely. I dug out my STASH of very old linens this morning and am debating what to do. I am reading through some old notebooks from the 50's for inspiration, so we will see what happens.
