Earl Gray Towels

An abundance of weft and warp floats make these kitchen towels not only textured but thirsty.

Unlike many two-block pick-up patterns, this one doesn’t require reinserting the second pick-up stick every few picks, so the weaving goes quickly and smoothly.

One towel uses a dark gray weft and the other a white weft, making a coordinating set that isn’t boring.  You can also choose to make four towels with two white and two black as weft.
