Instant Vintage Towels
Designed by Mary Unger
Using just one cone each of Mallo Cotton Slub and Beam 3/2 Organic Cotton, these soft, pillowy towels are woven with an extremely open weft sett, creating the texture and drape of a well-loved vintage linen. The warp-predominant structure “fades” the weft color, giving the cloth a distinctly antiqued look. Create your own weft stripe design to give your towels a personalized, idiosyncratic pattern of color and texture, or weave as shown. Order a kit.
