A New Kind Of Dish Cloth


I am experimenting with a new dishcloth design. Instead of making these dishcloths from heavy cotton yarn I am making than from a lighter weight cotton crochet thread. This is my first one and I am going to use it for a week or so to see how it holds up and performs before I make any more. I like that it is lighter weight and seems to have more texture to almost perform like a scrubbie.  The great thing is that it dries out fast between uses and would be less likely to smell or sour. Anyone else out there tried this.

  2. I would love to hear how well these hold up. I have a bunch of the lighter crochet cotton that I need to work up into something and I don't care for the heavier cotton dishcloths.

  3. I like to rinse my dishcloths in a 1-part-bleach/3-parts-water mixture. Do you think cotton crochet thread would hold up to that? Maybe I should try an experiment, too.

    1. Charade probably not bleach. I don't bleach anything very often but rather like to drop my dishtowels in a pot of boiling water with a little soap added and let them soak for an hour or so then just wring them out and hang them to dry.

  4. I haven't try this, but look forward to hearing how the lighter weight works. My mother-in-law 'sanitizes' hers for 30 seconds in the microwave to keep germs and odor down. I just rinse and hang outside.

  5. I would love to know also! I love crocheted wash rags and pot holders, and what makes them even more special is that they were given to me as wedding gifts. I plan on sharing that tradition and gifting the same things when my family/friends get married. I might be 22, but by golly, I like tradition lol!!! LOVE your blog!!
