These towels have squares of basketweave set in a field of plain weave. The warp is 8/2 Cottolin, sett at 20 epi and striped in the basketweave area for extra impact. The weft is the same yarn and the color choice is yours: we made one towel with multi-colored stripes and three solid towels but you can play around with the striping and colorblock effects. The kit makes four hemmed towels with finished dimensions of approximately 23" x 17". They can be machine washed and dried.
