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.
These were so fun and easy to weave. After washing they were instantly soft, even in my hard water!
I have not yet woven the pattern but working on shifting to include maybe a bit of Leno Lace as a border interest.
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!
