Stripes and Blocks Kitchen Towels

Towels are like candy for weavers: fun and quick to make, endlessly useful, and a quick way to try a new technique—in this case, simple inlay.

These cheery towels are a perfect canvas to try out inlay—think of the squares as building blocks in your weaving knowledge. Doubling the warp ends gives the fabric a good hand that can be difficult to achieve in a wider sett.
