I wove these towels as a house warming gift for a friend.  The draft is one of my favorites from the Carol Strickler book of 8-Shaft Patterns.  It is pattern #246 on page 60.  The towels were woven using 8/2 unmercerized cotton and 22/2 cottolin in the warp and weft.  The sett was 24 epi.  I used the treadling in the book for all of the towels except the one on the foreground.
