Checked Towels in Cottolin. These traditional towels are made of cottolin, which is a yarn that is a combination of cotton and linen. The linen helps the towels soak up water and also dry quickly. They are in plain weave.
Fun Towels in Stripes and Plaid. These cotton towels can be a stripe or plaid design, whichever you choose as you are weaving. You get to pick out your own colors from the many cones of cotton available. It will be fun to see your particular color combination.
Nubby Striped Towels. You can weave your towels with nubby novelty yarn in white or smooth yarns in colors; the choice is yours.
Twill Sampler Towels in Cotton. This is a good project for weavers who have woven plain weave and are now interested in learning what a loom with four shafts can do. As you weave the twill patterns, you will begin to understand how changing the combination of shafts being raised changes how the cloth will look.
Swedish Lace Towels. This traditional weaving pattern makes a texture that results in a very absorbent cloth. When weaving these cotton towels, several different treadles are used; but the weaving goes quickly because there is only one color for the weft. You get to pick which color the weft and warp will be.
