Ma’s Towels

When Ma Ingalls placed the red-checked tablecloth on the table in the Little House series by Laura Ingalls Wilder, the family members knew their latest move was done and they were home. Weave these cotton and linen towels designed to coordinate with that tablecloth using your rigid-heddle loom and add texture and lace patterning with a pick-up stick.

As a child, Malynda loved to listen to her father read Laura Ingalls Wilder’s Little House on the Prairie books. As a mother, she now reads them to her children. These towels were designed to coordinate with Ma’s red-checked tablecloth from the books. They are woven on a soft cotton warp with a linen weft. Crisp drape, spot lace, and textured stripes combine to make these simple country towels special.
