"These charming Texas Bluebonnet towels, designed by Cheryl Leib, appear in the Mar/April 2019 edition of Handwoven. They are very sturdy and make excellent gifts. The yarn is 8/2 unmercerized cotton, sett is 24 epi. Leib recommends that the plain weave hem be done with sewing thread or 20/2 cotton. This is important to keep the PW hem even with the twill cloth. (Ask me how I know.)
The first time I made these cloths, I used the blue yarn available in my stash. This round, I ordered the recommended blue, Brassard Medium Blue #5029. It is a beautiful, vibrant color. For my next batch I will order more instead of making substitutions. " Wendy-Marie
