Cotton hand towels

I talked with a local weaver/spinner about if there was any yarn I could easily find locally to make up some hand towels. She suggested using Sugar and Creme or Peaches and Creme brand that you can pick up at any local craft store.

While breezing through Wal-Mart the next day I wandered over through the yarn section and low and behold there was Peaches and Creme in several solid colors and even more to my surprise huge cones of pretty variegated yarn! Now Peaches/Sugar and Creme is 100% un-mercinized cotton so it is good for any project where absorbency is needed. I picked up a few skiens of solid black and 2 cones of a pretty variegated with shades of white, green and blue. 

I warped up enough length for 4 hand towels measuring 10x18 in each. I used my 7.5 epi heddle which is commonly recommended for this yarn. 

These were such an easy project. The yarn was so easy to work with and the way the colors laid out was just amazing. 

One off of the loom I serged the raw ends and then washed. 

After that I cut them in 4 equal sections, serged, then hemmed.
