Petals and Pixels Towels
Designed by Dana Lutz
Inspired by Ardis Dobrovolny’s drafts in A Weaver's Book of 8-shaft Patterns, this modern take on Overshot offers two distinctive pattern options. One pair of towels features a flower petal motif framed by a diamond lattice, reminiscent of argyle. The pattern is fully reversible, allowing you to hem either side facing forward, for a subtle shift in look and color. The other pair deconstructs the petals into a playful, pixelated motif inspired by garden brickwork. Weave the full set or pick your favorite design. Order a kit.
