Corn is an important staple for the indigenous Tarahumara people of Chihuahua, Mexico. They grow all of their own food and live completely off the grid. Learning about the Tarahumara people and the many uses for the colorful flint corn that they grow for tortillas, tamales, and piñole inspired the brilliant colors of these towels. Flint corn is fascinating, with colors ranging from white, yellow, red, orange, and gold to blue. It’s amazing to think that something so beautiful could come from one seed. Jodi chose Caterpillar Cotton for its beautiful crimped, spiral-plied texture, and she used a simple pick-up sequence to add even more texture and interest to the towels.
Featuring the classic combination of linen and lace, these heirloom-quality towels are as durable as they are beautiful.

Unassuming and thirsty, Kerala towels are generally plain weave in white cotton with a few stripes or decorations to distinguish them. Waffle-weave versions spotted on a recent trip gave designer Anne Merrow the idea to weave a set of towels: one in traditional plain weave with clasped-weft accents, and the other with simple waffle-weave pick-up.
Semirandom stripes and a pick-up pattern mimic the shifting light and colors of a waterfall in this towel design.
