Ready to take your rigid heddle loom to the next level? The [Sorry, item discontinued or temporarily out of stock] has just the pattern to get you there. Playing with Blocks Waffle Weave Towels by Jodi Ybarra will have you looking at your rigid heddle in a whole new light and have you totally energized as you explore color and texture. With the simple aid of a pick-up stick your light weight, portable rigid heddle will become a powerhouse piece of equipment capable of creating textured weaves. Just think of the possibilities.

We love the 3 colors of similar value Jodi chose for the towels Homestead 8/2 Cotton Yarn color 051 (3MintGreen), Homestead 8/2 Cotton Yarn color 053 (68Duck) and Homestead 8/2 Cotton Yarn color 052 (48EmpireBlue) but with the vast number of color choices in Homestead 8/2 Cotton Yarn we couldn’t resist coming up with some of our own color combinations. With just 2 mini cones of each color you’ll be able to efficiently and economically weave these beautiful towels. So go ahead and click through on the color combination you like best, you can “one click” add the whole project (including magazine) to your cart, or add individual colors as needed:
