Love this video! I am totally buying some slub!

I loved watching your experiment! I also love how happy you always make me when I see you’re smiley videos

😊 thank you! You are really nice!

I love watching your videos, I have recently bought a floor loom so I am on a learning kick. Just a thought for the first part of your experiment, use a scale. Weigh the dry towel, soak let it drip off then weigh it find the difference and turn it into a percentage, this would negate the deference in towel sizes. Also if you want to know the volume of water held, know that grams of water is the same ml. ie: 53g = 53ml.

That's such an good idea! Thank you so much 😁 I will try it for sure 😊

Great comparison. The lab coat ensures scientific accuracy, I'm positive.

I love that in the end you love them all because you made them it’s like a parent choosing a favourite child. They’re all great in their own way.

Thanks 😊

Scientifically, I’d control for the yarn weight. So calculate absorbency per unit weight of the towel. That allows you to compare different weight yarns and draw conclusions about the fibers themselves.

I would have to try that next time!

Great video! I would be interested in a follow up video after many uses! How do they age and hold up?

That's a great idea! Like a video in many years, a little bit like a high scool reunion after 5 years 😄

Thanks for doing this experiment! I appreciate you're time to do this and sharing your results!

Thank you!! 🥰

I am new to spinning with a drop spindle. I do think that the twist would effect the absorbency of the fibers. A tight twist would compact the fibers together so that less water would get in between. The twist alters the porosity and also the strength on a strand of yarn. What a fun video you gave us!

Ce que vous auriez pu faire aussi, c'est de les peser. Les peser sèches et les peser mouillées, en soustrayant les deux ça donnerait la masse d'eau et 1 g d'eau = 1 ml. Sinon en les divisant, ça permettrait de compenser pour celles qui sont plus longues ou plus épaisses.

Mais c'est vraiment cool comme expérience. J'ai hâte de commencer à tisser des serviettes. J'ai commencé à tisser avec des fils coton et acrylique. À date, j'arrive quand même à obtenir des tensions assez régulières . J'ai hâte d'essayer 100 % coton pour faire des serviettes, des linges à vaisselles et des guenilles.

C'est tellement une bonne idée! Merci! 😊 Je dois vous mettre en garde pour quand vous aller commencer à faire des linges à vaisselle, car c'est très addictif 🙃 à mis project, je pense déjà au prochain hahah!

Good for you. What an interesting experiment. Did you find any preference/difference in the actual use?

To be completely honest, not really. They all work pretty well! 😊

I love your videos! Have you ever used your rigid heddle loom for aparrell fabric weaving? If so, what kind of fiber do you recommend?

Thank you! 😊 I have not yet tried to make clothes out of my handwoven fabric. I would love to do it, but sadly, I feel like my sewing skills still need to improve a lot. There is a weaver named Sara Howard who makes all kind of clothes with fabric woven on her rigid heddle loom. You can find her on Instagram under Getweavingwithsarah I hope this helps 😊

What size slub did you use?

I’m very surprised at the results with Cottolin. I’ve woven a number of towels with it and find them very absorbent. I may have to change things up now.

I was suprised aswell! I love my cottolin towels too ❤ There are quite a few margin of errors in my experiments and I didn't see much a difference while using them on a daily basis. I would definitely keep using cottolin in the future despite this experiment 😊

I think with both cottonlin and linen i really think age matters, linen i think improves it's absorbvensy over time, so that's probably why your true and tested cottonlin towels work so well!
