Create a useful family heirloom!
Each night of Chanukah, add one more candle to the menorah – it takes only about 15 minutes a night. Even very young children can take turns choosing the next color and doing the straightforward candle stitching
themselves. The flames, of course, should be left to adults or older kids. :-)
By the end of Chanukah, you'll have a beautiful, decorative hand towel, with a unique personal design, to be treasured and used every year.
Why do we say unique? With 10 different candle colors and 8 different candle positions, there are 10P8 possible variations - which is over 1.8 million - and we haven't sold that many of
these kits. :-)
Note that this kit can be given as a gift in different ways. If you are a more experienced cross-stitcher than the recipient, you can stitch the chanukiah (the Chanukah menorah) and maybe also the shamas
(the center candle) before presenting it.
The towel itself is a cute 11"x18" cotton velour hand towel, and comes in your choice of deep blue or snow white.
Kit includes towel, palette of DMC embroidery threads, tapestry needle, patterns, and instructions. $25

Hand-Washing Towel Kit
This kit is for more advanced cross-stitchers, as well as more advanced practitioners of Jewish rituals.:-)
The towel is for ritual hand-washing. Since the hand-washing blessing is typically said while drying one's hands, it is particularly useful that the final words of the blessing are stitched on the towel in Hebrew.
The design features a ritual two-handled cup with the drops of water spilling out of it turning into the Hebrew letter yud, wherever it appears in the blessing. (Note that, unlike in the picture, all the drops and yuds are the same color.)
Kit includes 15"x18" hemmed white huck towel, DMC embroidery threads, pattern and instructions. $25
