Basic Twill Towels – PDF Weaving Pattern

$8.00

The best way to understand your weaving and get better at it is to try many different things, and this simple twill towel project has several features that I hope new and old weavers will enjoy learning from.

New weavers will gain skills in: winding warps with multiple colours, threading two different types of twill, changing weft colours, and using different treadlings. Experienced weavers will enjoy the creative suggestions this pattern includes and enjoy having an easily hackable basic twill towel pattern to hand.
