MATERIALS
To make a set of all three Slip Stitch Dishtowels, you’ll need…

7 skeins of Purl Soho’s Blackbird Linen, 100% linen. Each skein is 175 yards/ 100 grams.

  • Color A: 3 skeins; approximately 418 yards required
  • Color B: 2 skeins; approximately 223 yards required
  • Color C: 2 skeins; approximately 218 yards required

Note: You can make any one dishtowel with just two skeins of Blackbird Linen in two colors, and with these 7 skeins, you’ll have enough yarn left over to make an additional Triple L Tweed Dishtowel using different colors for A, B, and C.
