This lovely fabric seems to come right out of nature.  The pebbly texture reminds us of rocks and the lovely colors are from the weft are 100% linen and named after rocks and minerals.  This is a very simple, quick, and satisfying project and the towel is very soft! 

The warp is a LoftyFiber Pillow Soft, a soft, thick, boucle made from organic cotton. The picture is shown with the color Natural, but any of the LoftyCotton colors can be used as the warp.  The weft yarn is an unusual 100% single ply thin linen yarn from Belgium spun from flax that has been safely dyed with multiple colors that we think looks like rocks and minerals.  This linen is available in many colors.  We’ve put several combinations together for kits, but you may want to design your own colors, and perhaps change the width for a bath towel, blanket or shawl.

The cloth is plain weave, except for narrow stripes in a twill.  If desired, the twill stripes can be easily omitted.
