I have a sett question. I am going to weave a bath towel. I want to use cotton boucle for the weft and cotton for the warp. I want to weave as wide as I can on a 36' loom so I am thinking of weaving a 2/2 twill pattern. My question is, which cotton 8/4 or 8/2 ' what should the epi be? When I look at the yarn info for boucle it only gives the epi is the boucle as the warp. I thank you in advance for any help you give me. I see your tea towel pattern is 8/4, I also have been looking at a pattern from another site that uses 8/2 cotton.

We do towels with 8/2 cotton for the warp in 2/2 twill sett at 16 epi with Boucle for the weft'.they are wonderful. You can use 8/4 cotton if you want a heavier towel with Boucle for the weft. You would get the best drape if you sett it at 14 epi for a 2/2 twill by using an 8 dent reed sleyed 1-2-2-2. If you don't have an 8 dent reed you could sett it at 15 epi in a 10 dent reed sleyed 1-2 and only beat 13-14 ppi.
I wove three dish towels on my loom using 8/4 cotton rug warp and was not pleased. They were too stiff and not that absorbent. What is the best yarn to use? I am confused by all of the sizes available - 8/2 cotton, 5/2 cotton, cottonlin ? (I've made 50 rag rugs but haven't ventured into other areas)! I would appreciate any advice for these towels. Thanks.
