Golden Hour Towels
Golden Hour Towels
Designed by Michele Marshall and featured in Easy Weaving with Little Looms, Fall 2025.
There’s something magical about the golden hour. The quiet moments just after sunrise or before sunset when the world is bathed in a warm, glowing light.
Michele Marshall captures that fleeting beauty in these Golden Hour Towels, woven in twill for a soft hand and subtle texture. The colors reflect the sun’s gentle rays and bring a touch of warmth to your kitchen or table.
These towels can be woven on a rigid heddle or 4-shaft loom.
