There's a great website, <a href="http://rigidheddleweaving.com/" rel="nofollow">Rigid Heddle Weaving</a>, and also a book, <i>Hands on Rigid Heddle Weaving</i> that would be helpful. If your loom is wide enough, you can certainly weave dishtowels!<br /><br />Nina, my current dishtowels don't all match, I admit. A lot are old boughten ones, commercially produced. That's fixing to change however!Leighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02435811789823712254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26055463.post-56003406189715285152011-11-12T10:39:30.930-05:002011-11-12T10:39:30.930-05:00I'll have to admit that I like using handmade ...I'll have to admit that I like using handmade tea towels so much, that I don't really care if they match my kitchen or not. It's always nice to use a beauitfully made item, and if it has form as well as function, it's a bonus!
