“…In a separate group, we see publications on the semantics and function of traditional towels in the context of ritual practices (Andrushko [12], Herus [13]). Some writings are about towel decoration questions (Kozakevych [14], Kutsyr [15]), as well as the analysis of materials and techniques of traditional towels and the possibility of their use in modern life [16][17][18] (Kumpikaitė, Ragaišienė, Rukuižienė, Kot, Nenartavičiūtė). The author of the catalogue of folk towels from the National Museum of Lithuania, Bernotaitė-Beliauskienė [19], considers most of the mentioned issues with rich illustrative content.…”

A comparative analysis of traditional western Ukrainian and Lithuanian towels provides rich material for new creative inspirations, as well as diversification of individual and mass-produced interior textiles, and also visualizes historical ties between the two countries. Therefore, the objective of the article is to analyse the weaving techniques that prevail in the creation of towel decor, to determine the artistic and stylistic parameters of Ukrainian and Lithuanian towels and to establish the common and unique features of their decor. The techniques of plain and twill weaving, the latter of which could obtain simple textured patterns on the canvas, were widespread in both countries. Various weaving compositions were obtained by the pick-up techniques of weaving, the overshot, and the damask weaving technique, which was much more widespread in Lithuania than in the western part of Ukraine.
