Best of Handwoven, Top Ten Dish Towels on Four Shafts eBook (Printed version)

From the publisher:

"Dish towels are a joy to weave—and they are very quick! They require only washing and hemming, they make wonderful gifts, and they are the perfect item to enter in a guild sale. Even more good news—these towels, with their wide range of innovative patterning, can all be woven on a 4-shaft loom.

Towels also lend well to experimentation with weave structures. Since they are quick to weave (and extremely useful to have around the house), warping for several and trying each in a different technique is a great way to learn and practice before moving to larger or more complicated pieces. The weaving projects in this eBook feature structures such as M’s and O’s, Swedish lace, huck lace, waffle weave, and more.

Plus, towels are a great project to experiment with color. Try out new color variations with your favorite weave structure, or try your favorite color combination on a new structure to see the effects! Color is just as important when designing handwoven pieces as the structure."
