Venne | Crackle Weave Washcloths Pattern & Yarn Pack
Weave Crackle Washcloths with Venne Yarns
Bring handwoven luxury to your daily routine with this beautiful Crackle Weave Washcloths kit, featuring the pattern by Australian weaver Samantha Gehrmann. These stylish, absorbent cloths make a thoughtful handmade gift—or a delightful upgrade to your own bath and kitchen linens.
This kit includes everything you need to get started:
- Warp yarn: 4 x 100g cones of Venne Cotton 8/2 in one harmonious colour
- Weft yarn: 2 x 100g cones of Venne Cottolin 8/2 in two contrasting colours for visual texture
- Digital pattern: Includes a printable PDF, and WIF file for easy loom setup via your preferred weaving software (e.g., Fiberworks (free trial available), iWeaveit, and WeaveIt Pro)
Samantha’s pattern is flexible enough to suit a range of weaving styles. Whether you prefer a firm cloth with a tight sett or something looser and more drapey, you can easily adjust to fit your preferences. The finished cloths measure approximately 32 x 32 cm (12.5 x 12.5 inches)—perfect for everyday use.
You’ll need a 4-shaft loom with a minimum weaving width of 15 inches (or 16 inches for a looser sett), plus two boat shuttles (or one single and one double-bobbin shuttle) and bobbins or quills. Samantha originally wove her cloths on a Schacht Baby Wolf, but any compatible loom will do the trick.
Whether you're new to crackle weave or looking to expand your repertoire with a quick and satisfying project, this bundle offers both functionality and fun. Treat yourself—or a fellow weaver—to a project that’s equal parts practical and beautiful.
Note: The first 3 swatches in the gallery feature the warp colour options: Natural (Unbleached), Linen White, and Cream.
Disclaimer: Yardage requirements vary based on loom waste.
