Box of Snowflakes Towels

This weaving kit includes all the yarns needed to weave these Box of Snowflakes Towels that were designed by Michele Marshall of Mingo's Corner Shop.

Box of Snowflakes -  Just like Michele’s Box of Chocolates but in beautiful shades of blue. 

These towels are a bit like a 3-shaft pattern for a shaft loom with different patterns appearing in the boxes! Each a little different, some more involved than others, but all entirely achievable on a rigid heddle loom with two heddles.

There is also a draft for a 16” loom size for those that have smaller looms or want to weave smaller size hand towels.

This is a rigid heddle project for the first-time adventurer into multi-shaft weaving on the rigid heddle loom.
