Details

Yoga Yarn tea Towel Kits! These were so popular last time we offered them we have some new colourway kits available now for a limited time.  

With this fabulous kit, you can weave six (or more) lovely, fresh and funky tea towels from just 3 cones of our Yoga Yarn.  

These tea towels are light, soft, absorbent and durable. 

Our Yoga Yarn is super for new rigid heddle weavers to use as it has just enough "give" to make weaving cotton a pleasure. 

Choose from FOUR great colourways –  The kit includes instructions to weave six tea towels, a combination of blocks and stripes and with details in brooks bouquet and 3 cones of Yoga Yarn. 

These can be woven on any Ashford rigid heddle loom 16" or wider with a 15dpi reed.

About the yarn

Yoga yarn is 35% lighter in weight than the 100% cotton in an equivalent weight. This is best when you want the bulk and density of a heavier yarn, but not the physical weight. Use Yoga yarn for fabrics, jackets, pull-overs, scarves, shawls and homewares which will have the bulk and density you want but at the same time staying light!

Yoga yarn has a nylon filament core completely covered by a cotton outer wrap! Get the best of both worlds: strength and elasticity of nylons with the natural comfort and beauty of cotton!

It is a 2 ply (two threads plied together) yarn – each ply is cotton spun over the nylon filament – the nylon filament is not visible and it will dye like 100% cotton.
It is such a pleasure to weave with this yarn. Due to the slight elasticity of the yarn there will be no more “saggy shed” when weaving on a rigid heddle loom!
This is Ne 8/2, but looks and weaves like Ne 5/2. You can use it in warp and weft and in any combination with other yarns.
