First batch of towels finished

Yesterday I finished the final 3 towels by hand stitching the hems.  They joined the rest in a nice satisfying 'pile' of towels.

Finished towels

Next step is to wrap up those towels that are Christmas presents for the NZ family, then get going on the second batch.

I've wound out the skeins for the red and green stripes and washed them.  Currently I am dyeing some smaller lots in red, green, and purple for a guild mug rug challenge.  As soon as they are done I'll do the larger amounts for this project. 

While winding skeins I did a third amount which will by dyed in the indigo pot so that after Christmas towels I will do some slightly modified towels with blue stripes.  They will be for sale.
