I’m an experienced cross-stitcher, and this was my first Swedish weaving project. I finished it in two days, and am super impressed with the ease, symmetry and beauty of this craft. The instructions were clear, but if you’re confused about something, there are YouTube tutorials you can search for. You’ll also need to purchase a 6-pack of #24 tapestry needles, a needle threader, and 2 skeins of embroidery floss (the color is your choice—not included in the kit). I’ve never needed a needle threader before, but threading an entire six-strand section of floss is difficult without one. I also broke 4 needles (the side of the eye broke) on this project, so be sure you have a pack. That’s also never happened to me with cross-stitching, but you normally separate the floss in cross-stitching, so there’s less pressure on the needle eye. I LOVED completing this project, and will buy more towels and thread & re-use the pattern to make more.

I used to make these embroidered towels as a kid under my mother’s instruction. Could not find the huck toweling locally to make them. My sister found an on line retailer for the toweling and of course I went to Amazon for a pattern book. I am very familiar with leisure arts publishing as I am a knitter . I trusted my gut they would be the ones to give the needed instructions clearly and simply. I was right !

The instructions are very minor, not even a full page. If you're expecting to be able to do the project from just this, you won't be able to. There's no needle, and no thread. Consider this the fabric and pattern for the 1 project. NOT a beginner's kit to learn how to do huck embroidery.

This one is good reading and making I have to do some time soon. This has an older book that I have been looking for!

I bought this and then a dozen huck towels. The instructions and charts are clear and concise. The patterns are easy and inspire some creativity. I'm hooked! It will be even better on a better fabric.
