I've found Strickler to be a good starting point. Sampling is always recommended though when trying something new. I'll check out the Strickler FB group! Thanks for watching ❤️
I'm just using the 8/2 cotton. I've found the hem isn't too bulky with 8/2 cotton but if I'm using anything thicker (like 8/4 or 5/2) I'll use a thinner yarn. I don't know how these structures will shrink so that may be a problem. If the main towel shrinks more than the hem, then the hem will be wider. We'll see when I do the final wet finishing, which will be the last video in this series. Another reason to sample! Thanks for watching.
Interesting! I love strickler but it's always a bit of a gamble. I find the Facebook strickler group helpful too. Thanks for this.

What size of yarn do you use for the hem?
