Cow Towels

Designed by Susan Kessler Simpson and featured in The Magic of Summer and Winter Weaving. Bring a little farmyard charm to your loom with these fun Cow Towels! This kit lets you weave two different looks: one towel features brown and white cows inspired by Guernsey cattle, while the second uses classic black and white coloring for a Holstein look. It’s fun to see how simply changing the colors gives the same design a completely different personality. A playful project for anyone who loves cows and country life.
