Suzie is a big fan of our Monte Cristo Bouclé, and these towels are a wonderful showcase for its soft, textured feel. She combined Aurora Earth 8/2 Cotton, Caterpillar Cotton, and Monte Cristo Cotton to create towels that are beautiful, soft, and full of texture. The simple plain weave makes this a relaxing project to weave, while the combination of yarn weights and textures gives the finished towels plenty of character. The weft is woven in a single color, so you’ll use just one shuttle for the entire body of the towels. The step by step pattern walks you through the warping process and makes it easy to work with the different yarn weights and textures. This is a great project for newer weavers who want to try combining a variety of yarns on the loom. And with their beautiful softness, these towels would make wonderful gifts for the upcoming holiday season. You can choose from 8 different color options. Each kit comes in natural and your choice of borders from our Caterpillar Cotton line. Weave Structure: plain weave Equipment needed: Rigid Heddle Loom; 22" weaving width; 10 dent reed; 2 shuttles.
