Playing with Blocks Waffle Weave Towels ~ Rigid Heddle Weaving

This weaving kit includes all the yarns needed to weave these Playing with Blocks Waffle Weave Towels designed by Jodi Ybarra for Handwoven May/June 2015.

Get inspired using color and texture on your rigid heddle loom! Waffle weave is the ideal weave structure for kitchen towels with its super absorbent abilities. Weaving texture on your rigid heddle loom is very easy to achieve with just one pick up stick.

Mix color blocks with waffle weave to get something new and different.

Yarns: Aurora Earth 8/2 cotton in Mint, Blue and Duck. The three colors used are of the same value but also have enough contrast to make the color block squares prominently seen throughout the towels.

Equipment needed: rigid heddle loom; 12 dent reed with 21.33” weaving width; 4 shuttles

Finished Size: 16" x 24 1/2" per towel

Instructions:  This project is featured in Handwoven May/June 2015.  You will need to purchase this magazine for the instructions if you don't already own a copy.
