Cottonwood-Leaf Towels by Sharon Alderman
The graceful curve of a cottonwood leaf inspires the undulating twill pattern in these towels. Woven in absorbent 8/2 cotton, warp and weft colors reflect the leaves, bark, and twigs of a cottonwood tree in early spring.
Towels as Gamps by Kathleen Farling
These towels double as study gamps. Here are eight different towels, each woven on the same twill threading but using a different twill treadling. Discover the amazing variety of patterns possible on the same warp while you enjoy using these decorative, unique towels.
Sunny Towel Set by Margaretha Essén-Heden
Bright yellow cotton makes this set of hand and bath towels a must for brightening up your bathroom. A 5-shaft waffle weave gives the towels a delicious and absorbent texture.
Sheep Towels by Georgean Curran
The darling sheep in the borders of Georgean’s towels are woven loom-controlled in summer and winter. A second “side-view” sheep adds to design variety with a simple inlay technique. These towels will make perfect gifts for your weaving and spinning friends.
8-Shaft Summer and Winter Towels by Georgean Curran
Discover the great versatility of summer and winter as a pattern weave. Each of these four towels is bordered by a different design (and each border uses different colors): geraniums, pansies, hearts, and sailboats.
Quilt Block Towels by Mark Wilhite
In Mark’s towels, summer and winter produces a quilt-block design (stars, diamonds, and checks) that can be used as a border or as allover patterning.
Simple Gift Towels by Sharon Alderman
Here are drafts for five different elegant linen guest towels, all in variations of M's and O's and Spot Bronson. Weave them to give as heirloom gifts or to keep and love using.  
Christmas Holly Towels by Robin Harness
These lovely guest towels in an unusual plaited twill are quick to weave with only one shuttle. Varying the weft colors will make the towels suitable for any season.
Christmas Rosepath Towels by Kathy Bright
An 8-shaft rosepath threading is very versatile! It can produce a wide variety of woven figures using a supplementary weft, including the Santas and Christmas trees in these towels—perfect motifs for holiday weaving.
Red Snowflake Towels by Rosemary Malbin
In these towels, an 8-shaft rosepath threading produces bright red snowflakes bordered by green and white stripes in plain weave.
