Conjure up the brilliant hues of cliff houses and the crystal blue waters of the Italian coast as you dye the accent yarn for these rigid-heddle–woven towels. The soft bouclé cotton dyes easily with a readily available, user-friendly tie-dye kit, and it creates an absorbent, soft cloth.

Yvonne loves winding small skeins of Monte Cristo and dyeing them with friends and family. After the dye party is over, she is often left wondering what to do with all the bits and pieces of dyed yarns.
For these towels, she set aside one cone of white and used another cone for the colors. She wound off several 140-yard (2-ounce) skeins and dyed them in different colors using a tie-dye kit. For one towel, she chose a multicolor skein, and for the other, repeated purple, blue, and green for accent stripes in warp and weft. Against the white background the dyed yarns really pop rather than mixing with each other and becoming muddy.
