Seasons of Miami Towels

Seasons of Miami Towels

Inspired by the bold colors and glowing gradients of 1980s Miami, the Seasons of Miami Towels bring energy, movement, and sunshine to your loom. Reminiscent of neon signs, ocean waves meeting the shore, and tropical blooms swaying in the breeze, these towels are designed to brighten any space with their vibrant, tropical feel.

This project invites you to explore color in a playful yet approachable way. The structure combines plain weave and twill, creating subtle shifts in texture that enhance the graphic quality of the stripes and gradients. 

Woven with Beam 3/2 Organic Cotton, these towels are soft, absorbent, and well-suited for everyday use. The weaving process is beginner-friendly, offering a satisfying introduction to working with multiple structures while keeping the rhythm at the loom enjoyable and steady.

Whether displayed in your kitchen or given as a handmade gift, the Seasons of Miami Towels are a joyful celebration of color, creativity, and seasonal inspiration.

This kit is different from our standard weaving kits. Instead of pre-measured yarn amounts, you’ll receive full-size cones of each color used in the pattern. This means you may have extra yarn beyond what the project requires—perfect for weaving additional fabric or exploring your own variations.

The kit price reflects the inclusion of full-size cones and the expanded creative possibilities they offer.
