A Modern Twist on Log Cabin Towels

This is a modern twist on the traditional log cabin weave, exploring colors and textures in this distinctive rigid heddle weaving project!

This project was designed by Tammy Bast of The Rogue Weaver and features a seven color log cabin weave with added texture, offering two distinct patterns on the same warp.

There are 17 detailed pages in the pattern that is packed with video links, blog references, detailed pictures, check lists and color charts.

The pattern offers three color palettes to choose from, so we've offered three different kits, Summer, Fall or Spring.
