You will find the instructions on page 50. If you do not have a current subscription, you can purchase a copy of the magazine here: Handwoven Magazine
(Please note, the instructions call for the color Deep Sea that is currently out of stock with our supplier. We are substituting Sapphire in this collection for now. Sapphire is a close match with how the bag looks in the picture. We hope to have the Deep Sea back in stock later this spring.)

Combine a 2 ply hemp warp with 5 colors of 10/2 American Maid™ naturally colored cotton to weave 5 lovely fingertip towels (finished size approximately 13” x 24”). The hemp yarn is manufactured in Romania, and we make the American Maid™ yarns from cotton grown here in the American west and spun in the US. When you wash the finished towels with baking soda, the color of the naturally colored cotton yarns will deepen. The green cotton is especially affected by the alkalinity of the wash water. And, the colors will deepen over time.
