Instant Vintage Towels
Designed by Mary Unger
Using just one cone each of Mallo Cotton Slub and Beam 3/2 Organic Cotton, these soft, pillowy towels are woven with an extremely open weft sett, creating the texture and drape of a well-loved vintage linen. The warp-predominant structure “fades” the weft color, giving the cloth a distinctly antiqued look. Create your own weft stripe design to give your towels a personalized, idiosyncratic pattern of color and texture, or weave as shown. Order a kit.
Gist has wonderful patterns! Their support of the weaving community with occasional free patterns encourages me to try new techniques or materials. Thanks!
I just enjoyed weaving these darling towels! I have to admit I didn’t follow exactly the pattern because I was enjoying the weaving and rows would kinda add up here or there but they are a gift for my grand daughter because she’s really into her sourdough bread! I put plenty of warp on and out came 4 beautiful towels!
Looking forward to busting my stash with your easy to follow patterns!
The look of these towels took me right back to my Aunt’s farmhouse kitchen in the fifties.
Insanely soft and useful as one of the largest towel patterns Gist. offers. Exceptional!
Great pattern, easy to read instructions. Great for a beginner who is familiar with warping, as you will learn to do simple color changes in the weft.
