houndstooth dishtowels

posted on by Lee Cattarin

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. A two image collage.
