Orange and Grey Dish Towels

While I was on hiatus from knitting for a bit, I decided to do some finishing work on my woven dish towels.

I think I learned a new trick to not leave any space between towels in the future while weaving and just insert a couple of wefts of different colored yarn.  I was able to use my trusty sewing machine to do a binding stitch and then roll the edge over and sew the hem.
The towels pre-wash are 17.5" by 27".
Here is another close up of the pattern.
The washed fabric measured 15" by 23" so there was some shrinkage.  However, the yarn bloomed up and the fabric is thick and soft.
