Enchanted Windowpane Towels
Combine a 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 our Bold Lyte™ Hemp yarn, 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.
Gradients for Your Table
Weave coordinating Napkin and Placemats using visual gradients with 2 colors in the warp. The napkins are woven with 10/2 Tubular Spectrum™ mercerized cotton yarn, and the placemats are woven with 3/2 Tubular Spectrum™ mercerized cotton yarn. Each kit contains enough yarn for warp and weft and has multiple color options. Both the napkin and placemats have instructions for either shaft looms or rigid heddle looms.
