Looking for a quick project to make for gifts or to give yourself a little indulgence?  How about everything you need to make some soft, naturally colored washcloths?  We have included instructions to make these washcloths on either a rigid heddle loom or a 4-shaft loom.  The washcloths are made with natural white as the warp and colors for the weft. The finished sizes of the washcloths are approximately 10” x 10”.   You can choose to make 2 or 10 washcloths.

Listen to the Loon! Difficulty level is Beginner to Intermediate (One fish). This is a two to four harness kit.

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 the contents of the kit.  The Rigid Heddle instructions include a 3/1 lace pattern or plain weave, and if you have a 4-Shaft loom, we include drafts for the lace pattern, birds-eye twill, and plain weave.  If you have a floor loom, please purchase the 10 washcloth kit so you will have ample yarn for loom waste.

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