    A two image collage. Image one shows 1 dishtowel fully laid out and 2 folded next to the yarn used in them. They are navy blue, yellow, and beige and in the log cabin pattern, which alternates blocks of horizontal and vertical light-dark stripes (light is yellow or beige depending, dark is always navy). They have a fringed hem on two opposing sides. Image 2 is a closeup on the pattern.

  2. houndstooth dishtowels

    A two image collage. Image one shows a laid out dishtowel with two folded ones and several weaving shuttles (the pieces that hold the yarn to weave with) on top in the same colors as the towels. The pattern is a small houndstooth, repeated interlocking diamonds in dark and light tones. The dark tone is always navy; the light tones are either beige, yellow, or crossed beige and yellow depending on the section of the towel. All towels have an inch and a half fringe along the long edges. Image two is a close up of the pattern.
