What's the best yarn for weaving tea towels with drape?

Duet cotton/linen is perfect for towels where you want more drape and elegance than pure cotton provides. The linen content gives the fabric a beautiful sheen and crispness that softens with each wash, while the cotton keeps it absorbent and easy to care for. It produces heirloom-quality kitchen and dining linens.

Can I use Duet on a rigid heddle loom?

Absolutely. Duet weaves beautifully on a rigid heddle loom and is strong enough for warp. With a 12-dent reed, you get a lovely balanced plain weave.
