Buckens and Owls Tea Towel kit

Most commonly known as “M’s and O’s,” this weave structure is believed to have Finnish roots. Along its journey across the pond to North America, it earned the whimsical name “Buckens and Owls,” and in Sweden, it goes by “Sålldräll.” Around here? We just call it gorgeous!

Jane wove this pattern after she went into a “rabbit hole” exploring all the possibilities of M’s and O’s for episodes 7 and 8 in School of Weaving (Jane actually loves rabbit holes, they’ve taken her to all sorts of fabulous places…)
