kit cottonclouds | Anything but Plain Towels

This weaving kit includes all the yarns needed to weave these Anything but Plain Towels that were designed by Sharon Alderman for Design Collection #18 page 5.

No two towels have to be the same!  While all the towels are clearly related, none are identical.  They are like siblings in a family!

Project directions for these towels are from Design Collection #18 from Long Thread Media.  The directions make two towels, but you’ll be able to weave four towels with this kit for more pleasurable hours of weaving.

We have also added a rigid heddle version for these towels because we know how much our rigid heddle weavers love playing with color in both warp and weft.  We will include the rigid heddle version of this pattern if you choose this option.

Our kits are packaged in a lovely organza bag, perfect for storing your project until completed and then gifting when finished.
