This project uses unmercerized 3/2 Cotton yarn, sett at 8 epi.  The instructions call for a 4-shaft or rigid heddle loom with at least 15″ weaving width, one pickup stick (if you have a rigid heddle loom), and a minimum of 1.5 oz of each of 4 colors of 3/2 cotton yarn plus an 8 oz cone of natural white.  Other 3/2 cottons could be substituted in the pattern.  An 8 oz cone of natural white provides an ample amount of yarn for the warp and weft needs.

The finished sizes of the 10 washcloths are approximately 9” x 10”.

Equipment Needed:

• Loom with 15″ weaving width (warp is 12″ in the reed)
• 8 dent reed (or way to get to 8 epi)
• pickup stick (for rigid heddle loom)

Yarn Needed:

• • 8 oz cone of 3/2 American Maid™ Natural White yarn
  • Five 1.5 oz cones of 3/2 American Maid™ Colored Cotton Yarn, in 5 colors or one 3/2 American Maid™ sampler Kit
