These towels are made of linen and cotton. Every time you wash them, they will get better and softer, as linen is wont to do. They come in five color combinations, consider lining them up edge to edge to get a full prismatic color effect. They’re intended as flatweave bath towels, but who’s to say you can’t cover your walls with them?
Materials: Lithuanian linen, Egyptian cotton
Dimension: 36 X 62”
The Weaving Mill
(Humboldt Park)
The Weaving Mill is an artist-run industrial weaving studio in Chicago. They make limited runs of woven home goods and apparel, focusing on creative use of dead stock, scrapped, and recycled yarns, as well as supply-chain-forward contemporary materials. In partnership with social services agency Envision Unlimited, they provide textile education workshops for adults with developmental disabilities and host an experimental artist residency program. Through their projects, textile and otherwise, they aim to fill the space between the hand and industrially made and bring the mechanics of textile production into wider view.
