Bauhaus Weaver Hand Towels

This weaving kit includes all the yarns needed to weave these Bauhaus Weaver Hand Towels that were designed by Christine Novotny for Handwoven, March/April 2021.

These Bauhaus inspired towels use a summer and winter weave structure.  

The beige-neutral towel evokes a calm and subtle feel while a bright turquoise towel inspires a playful aesthetic value.

Choose to weave one of each or two of each colored towel.

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

Yarns: 8/2 Aurora Earth Cottons in black, natural, silver, mustard, light turk, and rust.

Note: we have made yarn substitutions with our 8/2 Aurora Earth Cottons for the 8/2 cottons from the original yarns listed in the pattern.

Equipment needed: 4 shaft loom, 16" weaving width, 10 dent reed, 2 shuttles, 4-5 bobbins

Note: There has been a correction for the tie up in this pattern. The second treadle should be tied up to harnesses 1 and 2, NOT 1,2,4.  Click on this link for the correct tie-up.

This kit includes all yarns needed to weave these towels.  The pattern can be found in the Handwoven magazine noted above.  You will need to purchase this magazine if you don't already own a copy.
