Playful striped tea towels with the cotton threads doubled and woven in plain weave, creating a soft basket weave texture with extra durability. Order a kit.

I am inexperienced weaving with 8/2 cotton. I used a Cricket loom, and made my own pattern. There is a learning curve, but enjoyed the pattern very much.

Review of Skyline pattern and 2 kits
I like the Gist patterns. Clear instruction. They don't use the typical graphic draft chart that I'm used to, but I think that's great for beginning weavers; one less quirky weaving to learn right away. I've used Check & Stripes Towels and Beginner Towels with Beam and enjoyed both. Plenty of yarn and interesting color combos. I'll be back for more.

i am a mew weaver and ordered the skyline towel set. The order was processed quickly, and within two weeks, I had my book of goodies from you. I can't wait to start these towels. Gist has been a pleasue to work with, and I am lookig forward to more delightful yarns, kits, and video learning experiences.
