Huck Windows, Dish Towels in Linen and Lace by Marjorie Erickson

Marjorie Erickson's Huck Windows handwoven towel design came from inspiration for a 2001 weaving guild contest. The challenge was to weave a 4-shaft huck dish towel on a Mountain Loom.

She constructed a number of 4-shaft huck designs and her guild's favorite won them the new loom!
