I have the borders going now. I used 6-strand cotton embroidery floss, and it comes in so many colors I couldn't resist using a bunch of different greens.
Perusing the Hayes pattern book, I see suggestions for either 10/2 or 5/2 cotton as a pattern weft when the ground is set at 30 epi, so I'm going to try those on the other towels.
Again I am not getting a balanced weave, so the design is turning out much taller in the warp direction than was suggested by the draft I posted, but I like this shape better.I put the small border close to one hem. The large design will be farther from the opposite hem, to be more centered when the towel is hanging up on a towel rack.
