Farmhouse Chic Washcloths
4-shaft Waffle weave makes thick and absorbent washcloths. The designer’s granddaughter’s first apartment with its beautiful gray colors inspired these coordinating washcloths. May they brighten up your home too!
Substitute the red color for one of our other Maurice Brassard colors, to customize these washcloths to coordinate with your setting!

The first project is woven in warp-faced twill blocks with a 20-color rotation warp using the 10/2 Tubular Spectrum™ and black weft. Then by changing the tie-up, the second project becomes a two-block doubleweave with a 20-color rotation in both the warp and the wefts. With these instructions you can make the two projects into either shawls or table runners. Choose what fits your lifestyle!
Listen to the Loon! Difficulty level is Intermediate to Advanced (Two fish). You will need an Eight harness loom to weave this project.

LOONatic Mug Rug Instructions
As a result of the annual challenge by the Southern California Handweaver’s Guild of “Fowl”, the concept of our Loon Mug Rugs was hatched. The stripes are intended to look like the neck stripes on the summer plumage of the common loon. The mug rugs shown are woven with 3/2 mercerized cotton yarn using the 5-shaft satin pattern. When washed, the fabric has very satisfying ridges. The 4-shaft draft will produce a flat mug rug with equally interesting color stripes with the twill stripes. Design created by Michele Belson.
Bump Scarf Instructions
Bumps in the Night Scarves are made by combining merino wool and mercerized cotton yarns in both warp and weft! The different shrinkage of these two yarns creates a delightful scarf that has a bumpy 3-dimensional texture.
Tubular Spectrum Towel Instructions
Instructions to make 4 beautiful and functional dishtowels. Finished towels are approximately 17” x 28”. The towels are threaded in a 4-harness rosepath threading, and can be woven in rosepath, twill or plain weave with a white solid weft for striped towels or with the Tubular Spectrum™ colors woven approximately as drawn in for beautiful plaid towels.
Sett Fiesta Instructions
The Sett Fiesta Runner and Shawl is an exploration of asymmetry and using 10/2 mercerized cotton to achieve very different fabrics on the same warp. You can weave both a beautiful, stable table runner (sett at 30 epi) and a soft, drapable shawl (sett at 20 epi) using the same warp set up and threading. You will need to resley the reed between the runner and shawl.
Designed by Lunatics Katzy Luhring, Michele Belson and Mary Berent. Originally published in Handwoven in the May/June 2014 issue (please see the issue for the full blown instructions). This set of instructions will help you to make one shawl and one runner.
