chamois, tie dye style


A box of colorful tie dyed chamois awaits transportation to  Kast-A-Way Swimwear where they will be sold to swimmers and divers all over the country.


A lovely pile of assorted rubber bands awaits sorting before fulfilling their job of holding tied chamois together.


Oliver hopefully awaits any excitement that may happen.


Earnest awaits the joy of playing in an empty box.  (He loves boxes so!)


A basket of tied chamois awaits eventual dyeing.

 















a few of the tie dye patterns 
and flags being processed.  (Here is one of my chamois towels on Springboards and More.)




Alphabe-Thursday is so much fun!  Round 6 has barely begun.  This week our letter is "C."  Come visit others' submissions HERE and join in the fun!

  1. Stunning happy colors! My cat loves empty boxes too (not to mention fabric loose ends and strings too with which she plays "catch the Snake")

  7. Great "C" word post, Margaret. I don't know which I liked better, reading about your neat cats or doing the tie-dying. I didn't know that people still tie-dyed. It is nice that you have a market for yours. They are soooo pretty with all the colors you did.

  15. I just love all the various patterns of your tie-dyed chamois!
    And I love your kitties. Sammy doesn't like boxes though - I believe he still carries a trauma (maybe he was trapped in one) from before we rescued him...
    Your flags are wonderful!

  17. I love your work! I can hardly wait for Christmas to give our Grandlittle the hair scrunchies. They are just delicious!

    Thanks for sharing your chamois with us, too. I didn't even know swimmers used them!
