These towels are HOT!

Light your senses on fire with the colors of red-hot chili peppers. Like other members of the red family, chili-pepper is dramatic and exciting. It is associated with exotic tastes and cultural diversity. It's just what we need to spice up our lives!

The pick-up technique in this pattern is a 3/1 weft float variation.  There are many, many ways to achieve warp and weft floats, but this four-step variation is one of my favorites because it's easy to remember the four easy steps and you can leave the pick-up stick in place throughout the entire project. 

Choose either 24" Version or Cricket Loom Version depending on your loom size.

There are two color options to choose from!  Use the drop down menu below for our original towels in Inferno or a bright Citrus version.
