Morse Code Towels
Designed by Mary-Anne McTrowe
Summer and Winter threading blocks visually represent the morse code translation of Hugs & Kisses, aka “XOX XOX”. Long blocks stand in for dashes, short blocks for dots and very wide blocks are the spaces. A simple alternating treadling can weave a variety of motifs, from stripes to checkerboards, depending on which weft colors you choose and how you mix up the treadling sequences. Order a kit.
