The Gathering Place Towels

 Designed by Penny Lacroix

This is the first of the Triple Play Series, a three-part collection of “straight eights” towels that will be published over the course of a year. This project takes inspiration from the kitchen, the gathering place in many homes.

Threaded on an 8-shaft straight draw, this pattern uses a single tie-up for all three towels. Different treadlings weave three large, luscious towels and will keep the weaver interested in what’s happening next while giving an introduction to weaving on 8 shafts. Beam 8/2 Organic Cotton colors can be chosen to coordinate with any kitchen decor. Order a kit.
