Finally it's finished. It's blocked and I used it for the first time. It makes modest amount of soap foam, has natural rough texture both good for washing and scrubbing, dries quickly, doesn't drop fiber not like the one I knit with hemp ... perfect!

長いこと隙間時間に編んでいたリネンのボディータオルがやっと完成しました。ブロッキングして使ってみたところいい感じです :) たくさんではないけれどきちんとボディーソープが泡立って、自然素材の適度な粗さがあって、乾きが早い!以前ヘンプで作ったタオルのように繊維を落とすこともありません。わーい。完璧では!?うそうそ。まだまだテストが必要です。

It couldn't be made without the linen thread I bought from Flachs und Leinen. I like their idea to "support the ecological cultivation of flax and its processing in Central Europe."

このタオルはFlachs und Leinenで購入した糸なしでは作ることができませんでした。いい糸なのはもちろん、このお店の環境に配慮した栽培やヨーロッパでの処理というコンセプトもとても気に入っています。

I'll use the towel for a while and see it works well. If it works, I think about selling some on @homesteaderscoop :)

このボディータオルをしばらく使ってみて、確信を得られたら@homesteaderscoopで売ってみたいです。STEEM/SBDでの念願のお商売。

For this future project I'm searching for a home use knitting machine. I'm interested in it for a while. I like knitting but I have to confess I cannot be tolerant to knit knit knit for thousands of times for my pullover ;)

さすがに手編みだと採算がとれないし、セーターなどを編むのにもよさそうなので、この機会に機械編みに挑戦してみたいです。今家庭用の編み機を探しているところです。

Very interesting! Both intricate yet simple. Beautiful!! I appreciate that you are considering the ethics of the companies where you source your materials. That is certainly one of the qualities we look for in @homesteaderscoop vendors. Keep up the great work!

I like the idea of Homesteaders Co-op and happy to see crypto spreads not only from tech or investment field but also from environment/homesteading field :) Great great job!

Hi, @akipponn.

A knitting machine is great fun actually, but I'd tell you about two things : they're a bit noisy :D and also when you knit you only get 'stocking stitch'. I mean one side (that you do not see) is 'knit' and the side that you see when moving the knitting carriage is the 'purl' side. The result is a very smooth fabric that will roll.
You used 'garter' stitch, ie knit on both sides.

If using a knitting machine, you would either need a garter bar which lifts all the stitches off the machine and then you turn the work ... or a more 'expensive' machine that can combine (eg with a ribber).... Perhaps @kimmac has experience with this sort of machines.

I've got (at least) one old Brother machine and you can actually get second hand machines 'easily on ebay' - no problem. I like them because they're 'mechanic' (ie no electricity). I've also got one from Freecycle (do you have this sort of thing in Germany?)
Incidentally, by chance I saw a washcloth (30cmx30cm) knitted in organic cotton for about £10.
Many apologies for my long comment :D I love machines ...

Perfect! These are great to knit quickly, use and launder. Good idea for the homesteaderscoop as well :)
A knitting machine! 😱 I agree for simple knitting with dk these are helpful, but I would find them very boring to use. Although may be you could get into a rhythm with them.

That's right :D I've never thought about it but just sliding machine from left to right can be boring ... I may combine it with my German study with radio program ;)

Nice job on the finish! I love those colors you have there! I’m so glad to hear you are considering selling in the @homesteaderscoop marketplace! I am going to reach out to all the needleworkers and give them a heads up about the opportunity! I hope to see many of us selling our handmade goods. I am in the process of making my items and setting up my store. I’m shooting for the end of this month to have everything ready, we’ll see! 😁

Thank you @thistle-rock! I am so looking forward to joining you all :D

So good your scrubby towel is finished and works so nicely. I can imagine that it will sell good, as natural bath products are not so easy to find and buy.
And with the knitting machine, I am so curious what kind you will buy and how it works. Knitting machines are far away for me :-D Inspired my you I researched yesterday and now know how many totally different machines there are... wow 😮

Thanks @esteemapp :) I appreciate your support!

優しい色合いで素敵なボディータオルですね。
そしてSTEEM、SBDで商売…ワクワクしますね。

おもしろいですよね。@homesteaderscoop、種を交換している人がいないか探していて見つました :)

まだこのタオルのテストも全然していないのに、どんなもの売ろうかなとか妄想もりもりです www
