Includes turban, hand towel, wash cloth and hand  towel. Microfiber yarns take up and release water very well so they make great towels. Use Microtamm by Tamm yarn for standard gauge and Passap knitters Microspun by Lion Brand yarn for mid-gauge & bulky.

Microspun requirements: Washcloth & hand towel: 1 skein each, Turban & hair towel: 2 skeins each plus small amounts of contrast Microtamm requirements: one cone will make all the pieces with about half a cone left over, plus a small amount of contrast color Mid-gauge & bulky knitters aim for a gauge of 18-20 stitches and 24-48 rows/4”(10cm) in stockinette. Standard gauge and Passap knitters use large stitch size to achieve a gauge of approximately 24-7 stitches and 34-6 rows/4”(10cm) in stockinette. It is not necessary to match the gauge perfectly.
