Dishcloths,homemade of course!

I have been making my own dishcloths for a couple of years now, they are made from 100% cotton string,I use size 4 needles. I source my string from the cheap shops which works out at 3 dishcloths for less than £1,the quality is far more superior than any dishcloth I have purchased out of a shop.
As they are made from cotton the can survive a boil wash if needed and they are incredibly strong, I still have the very first one I made which is still in great condition.

They are really easy to make,I just cast on roughly 30 stitches and continue to knit until the ball of string is finished, beauty about making them yourself is that you can have them at the size you prefer.I don't like the large shop bought square cloths what hole within a month of usage, they just don't wash well.

They can be dyed if you're one of those colour coordinated folk, me, I can't be arsed when its only for washing the pots, if it was on display and I had lots of visitors then I may consider it.Consider it then still think 'nah' its a dishcloth.


Here is a little piccy of a dishcloth nearly completed.

It only takes me an hour from start to finish as I'm a slow knitter and you'll never run out of dishcloths unless you forget to buy string.
