Valley Yarns #285 Winter Berry Towels

Inspired by berry pastries fresh from the oven on a snowy winter day, these luscious towels will bring warmth and color to your kitchen. The color and weave technique combined with a doubled warp and weft of 8/2 Cotton, both variegated and solid, gives the illusion of a complex weave with deceptively simple execution that will impress your guests and family alike.
