Exchange Napkins

This weaving kit includes all the yarns needed to weave these Exchange Napkins that were designed by Julie Hurd for Handwoven, May/June 2010, pages 34-36.

Weave 12 napkins on one warp!

These napkins were designed from members of a study group to provide teaching and learning new techniques. 

The designers include Marti McIntyre, Linda Van Andel, Janice Cook, Julie Hurd, Sandy Bragg, Bert McDonald, Lucy Stolt, Jackie Bolinger, Carol Book, Diane Strzelinski, Mary Campbell, and Holly Shaltz.

There are four weave structures to experience.  Such a great idea that will get you started with your own napkin exchange!
