2019年4月10日 · Huck toweling is also available as already-made (and hemmed) towels through suppliers for textiles in industries like the medical industry, the restaurant industry, and so forth. Though I haven’t done it myself, I’ve heard that folks buy these already-made towels, take out the hemming, trim the towels up as necessary, and re-hem the sides ...

2024年9月20日 · Cotton huck toweling, then, is a fabric with superior absorbency, so it is used in situations where absorbent towels are good to have. You can find huck towels through medical supply outlets, through kitchen supply outlets, cleaning supply outlets, mechanical and garage supply outlets, and so forth. Huck towels sop up. They soak stuff up well.

2009年7月23日 · The kits are for two towels, which is a typical (but not the only) application for Huck work. Strangely enough, though the kits caught my attention at the time, now as I look at them, I find myself chuckling. Neither are in “my” colors! They aren’t really typical of me at all. Yet, still, I like the idea of them.

2020年4月25日 · Oh, Huck! Huck work has come up recently again online, and I can always tell when this happens, because this article on huck embroidery (or Swedish weaving, or any of the other names it goes by), ends up getting several visitors who are searching for information on the subject. The latest article on embroidered huck towels is from PieceWorks.

I haven't done any Swedish weaving for about 10 years, but at that time a fabric called "popcorn" was a much better quality and I believe was about 16 or 20 stitches per inch. It had a wonderful sheen and worked up easily. I used #3 or #5 Perle cotton. It wouldn't work for actual towels, but was fabulous for doilies, table runners, etc.

2009年7月20日 · The towels will be perfect for me as I refresh and expand my embroidery skills in preparation for the calendar quilt project that my mother and I will be doing together. Your instructions on starting and ending, transferring designs, types of threads, the various stitches, etc. all are so, so helpful — and inspiring!

2016年7月5日 · Embroidered Flour Sack Towels. You just can’t go wrong with flour sack towels when it comes to portability. Here are a few articles that might help you set up some fun flour sack towels for stitching: Embroidered Dish Towel – a Class Project Sample (includes my favorite resource for really good flour sack towels!)

2020年12月9日 · The first thing I remember working on was a border on simple gathered skirt in blue huck towel fabric with gold thread. I was probably about 11 or 12. I don’t remember where I got the idea but I do remember that my Mother and a visiting aunt were both intrigued with the project and worked on it too

2014年11月21日 · I found this very helpful, Mrs. Corbet. I need to expand my range of needles. All I have is a pack of sewing needles that are all the same size (which work quite well for most of my embroidery, actually), and a few miscellaneous needles that were my mom’s: one tapestry needle (which at first when I just did cross stitch, I called it my “cross stitch needle”), a few smaller crewel needles ...

2009年7月14日 · Thanks for the information about the four sack towels. I see they also have Huck napkins – nice. You mentioned the iron-on transfers, if they would wash out. Probably not, because they are heat transferred. The blue you see on some needlework designs ( such as Brazilian Embroidery ) is using a special wash out or wash away ink.
