Waffle Weave Kit by Michael Patterson.<br />
Waffle weave is a fascinating weave structure that looks more<br />
difficult than it is. The little craters create a soft yet functional<br />
towel. Try this project and then branch out on your own.<br />
Waffle is great fun in more shafts too. Our kit makes 3 thirsty<br />
dish towels with a finished size of 17” x 28”. Comes in five<br />
color combinations! You will need a four shaft loom, reed that<br />
allows a sett of 20 epi (10, 15, or 20 dent).<br />
