Designer Cathy Wilcox wove a delightful twill apron for Handwoven [November/December 2023]https://shop.longthreadmedia.com/products/handwoven-november-december-2023), and she also wove sets of potholders using the same twill and yarn. A 1991 Handwoven design for thrum pot holders inspired her to double the cloth for heat protection and to use bias tape to bind the edges.
