Bauhaus Weaver Hand Towels

This kit provides all the yarns to create the Bauhaus Weaver Hand Towels, originally designed by Christine Novotny for Handwoven magazine March/April 2021.

Rooted in the Bauhaus tradition where form and function meet, these towels are woven in the summer and winter structure. The soft, neutral beige towel conveys quiet balance and calm, while the vivid turquoise towel brings an energetic pop of color and playful modern spirit.

Weave Structure: summer and winter

Yarns: 8/2 Aurora Earth Cottons in black, natural, silver, antique gold, 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

Finished size: each towel 13" x 17" hemmed.

Instructions needed: Handwoven March April 2021, pages 50-52 from Long Thread Media.

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.
