Description
Our Beautiful Huck tea towels have a rustic yet modern elegance, perfect for your minimalist decor. You could weave this warp as 2 runners or 4 towels, or 1 runner and 2 towels… you get the drift 🙂
It is always so much fun to design contemporary fabrics with weave structures that have been used for centuries. Huck has been used for towelling since the middle ages. The simple 2 stripe design presents 4 different ways to use Colour and Weave patterning on Huck weft floats.

This kit is a great way to weave with linen and try out Huck. The weaving went more smoothly than I thought – I have a counterbalance loom and worry about a good shed with unusual tie ups. I had no problem with the huck structure, and now have four lovely linen towels. I liked the pattern and structure so much I wove additional towels in cotton and cottolin, and adapted the huck threading to a towel with a 3 panel grid. This kit was a great starting point.
