NEW SIZE!!! Petite is sweet, especially when it comes to waffle weave washcloths. Due to customer asks, my waffle weave washcloths are now availabe in a 10" x 10" size. They are so adorable all wrapped up in their bands. Check them out here: https://theplaidcatsmeow.etsy.com/listing/4568974603

Keeps your eyes on my page ... so many more handwovens coming up! 😁

Full load of just-off-the-sewing-machine washcloths (32 of them!). These are my 11 3/4" square waffle weave cloths. Hopefully, I'll have them in the shop early next week.

Several customers have asked for a smaller version of these washcloths...as in a 10-inch square. So later today I'll try to wind a 10 yd warp of 310 threads and get that started. I'm hoping to finish that set in mid September....fingers crossed!

Woo hoo! Finally back at the warping mill and loom. I just finished this gorgeous table runner ... in double weave: two fabrics woven at the same time which exchange sides to produce this bold, vibrant dining accent. It takes twice the thread, and twice the time prepping, weaving, and twisting fringe.

I hope you are enjoying the waning days of summer. I love fall, but it's too soon!!!

NEW!!! Handwoven, 8-shaft, "half-waffle" handtowels. 100% cotton threads: background is a warm "Honey", with accents of "Brick" and "Olive". They are squishy and very textured for extra absorbency!

Recovering from paddling yesterday. Hope your summer is going well!

NEW TOWELS! Think of spicy guacamole and chips when you check these out. They were woven in an 8-shaft crepe structure with one set of towels with vertical stripes; the other set of towels with vertical stripes and a horizontal border at both ends.

And for some reason I missed fixing treadling errors in THREE of the towels! πŸ™„πŸ€ͺ
My mistakes are your gain. You will find them also in the listing at a discounted price.

It's stillll raining, but at least it is slower. Hope your day is sunny! 🌞

SNEAK PEEK! Coming soon....a double weave table runner in these high-contrast colors. This is a slow-weave project where you change thread color for every shot. Once I get the rhythm going it's also a fun weave. Hopefully this will be in the shop by mid August.

Another "crazy" twill and basketweave set of towels. Woven in rich colors of raspberry, fuchsia, wine, green, and pink. They will look elegant in your kitchen or bath. Give as a gift or keep for yourself (you deserve one!).

Yes, he's sleeping on the job again!

Hot off the loom ... new 100% cotton towels. I wove these in one of my favorite 8-shaft, crepe structures in summery Caribbean colors. You can choose between two different color variations: yellow and golden yellow.

Find them here: https://theplaidcatsmeow.etsy.com/listing/4542786051

I hope you are enjoying your summer!!!

RESTOCK! These towels sold out in a matter of days. Gorgeous colors; gorgeous texture. https://theplaidcatsmeow.etsy.com/listing/4510627083

Storm alert day here: high wind, heavy rain, and thunderstorms. It might be a test for the new generator. So, today is a warping and weaving day for me, and I hope to get a ton done.
