We're used to tiny zig-zags in twill fabric but in this one, we blew the scale up to just one big zig-zag. Then we added the fun texture of the Cotton Boucle. The warp is 8/2B cotton, sett at 20 epi. The weft is entirely the Cotton Boucle, beaten at a fast 12 ppi with a very easy treadling sequence. Cotton Boucle gives the fabric a springy feel, almost like terry cloth, and disguises less-than-perfect edges. The kit makes four hemmed towels with finished dimensions of 13" x 23".

You will need:

• 15" weaving width
• 8 harnesses
• 10-dent reed
• 300 heddles
• 1 boat shuttle and 2 bobbins
• needle and thread or sewing machine for hemming

We used 8/2B unmercerized cotton in 5029 Bermuda and Cotton Boucle in 4269 Kiwi. If you would like these colors, simply order the kit above. If you would like to choose your own colors, please see our 8/2B cotton and Cotton Boucle pages to view the options.
