Valley Yarns #259 Easy Crackle Towel WIF

The Valley Yarn Easy Crackle Towel is a design that has wonderful depth worked in two colors. Woven in our perennially popular Valley Yarns 8/2 Cotton, your finished towels will be soft and absorbent and provide a beautiful bright spot in your kitchen too! Crackle as a weave structure provides a richly textured cloth that's a result of its block-based structure, and this geometric design is a beautiful example. Pair shades of one hue for a more tonal look or highly contrasting colors for a sharp one and delight in the different options that can be found in just one draft! This design is in WIF format, so weavers can electronically store and exchange weave drafts, display them graphically with a weaving software, and use them to drive computer-assisted looms.
