Sheep Border Towels
Sheep Border Towels
Add a touch of charm to your kitchen with these delightful Sheep Towels. Featuring sweet sheep motifs framed by soft sky blue and white “cloud” backgrounds, this design brings a lighthearted, pastoral feel to your weaving.
These towels are woven in plain weave with summer and winter inlay, creating a beautiful combination of simplicity and detail. The structure allows the sheep borders to stand out while keeping the overall fabric soft, absorbent, and perfect for everyday use.
Woven with Aurora Earth 100% cotton, these towels offer a wonderful balance of durability and softness. Whether you’re weaving them for your own home or as a thoughtful handmade gift, they’re sure to bring a smile every time they’re used.
Designed by Georgean Curran, these towels are a wonderful way to explore decorative inlay while creating something truly special for your home.
