I did a table runner as a school project when I was 13. It is easy to do and very effective when on the table. I still have it and I'm thinking of putting it under the glass lid of my embroidery floss box. I am sure you will enjoy doing it.

My great aunts taught me to do this when I was 8 years old. Spent many hours in their apartment in the attic listening and learning. Miss those lazy-hazy-day of summer.
|
Yes I did some towels and an apron. I think the fabric is called huck toweling.
|
When I worked at Walmart, way back when, we had a lady from Arizona,that would come to visit her daughter here in Oklahoma. Before the lady would head for home, she would almost buy us out of Monk's cloth. We carried a lot and in different colors. She said she couldn't find what she wanted in Arizona. Boy, was that a day or two ago. LOL
|
We used to do this back in the early '50s. It was a great time passer! Its easy to do.
|
When I first learned how to do this it was indeed called "Huck weaving." Recently I found some towel that I had done so many years ago. I was curious and did a couple of google searches. Still found lots of patterns and supplies available on line.

I used to have a couple towels that had them on the edges of them. I repurposed them as baby wash up towels. I have heard it also called chicken scratch or hardranger (sp?). Funny you should mention this. I found a large piece a couple weeks ago thrifting and I think I will make a pin cushion or pillow from it.
Swedish weave & Chicken Scratch are totally different. Swedish weave is done on Monk's cloth while Chicken scratch is done on 1/4" check gingham. I love both but am now obsessed with quilting. So many projects---so little life!!! |
I did kitchen towels years ago. But, recently, a quilt friend showed a throw she is making using monk's cloth. It is absolutely gorgeous and very easy to do.

Did some on monk cloth for afghan and huck toweling for my dry sink back in the 70's. I haven't seen either of these fabrics available in a long time.
