Keep It Simple Towels

These lovely tea towels are very easy to weave. Great for your own kitchen or to have on hand for much appreciated gifts.

The threading is straight-forward, and the weaving is quick with one shuttle.

To keep your interest while weaving you will have white for your warp and two different weft colors. This will give you a variety of colors for each set of towels.
