From Hopi to Huck Towels

Celebrate the artistry of traditional design with this thoughtfully curated weaving kit, which includes all the yarns you need to create the From Hopi to Huck Towels, designed by Roseanne White and featured in Winning Towels of the 21st Century from Long Thread Media.

Inspired by the rich patterns and earthy tones of Native American pottery, these towels combine cultural beauty with elegant structure. The striking huck-lace dogwood blossom motif is framed by gracefully spaced bands of color, creating a design that’s both timeless and visually captivating.

Woven “sideways,” the towels feature hems along the longer edges and selvedges on the shorter ends—a unique construction that adds to their charm and functionality.
