Organic Washcloths

March 15, 2008 By Spoonful of Sugar - 7 Comments

I have been enjoying a spot of knitting this week making some washcloths. I found this interesting yarn at Spotlight called Corn, which is 100% corn fibre. It knitted up well and is very soft on the skin and quick drying. I thought of making up a batch for gifts. Sarah is going to make up some bath salts in co-ordinating colours and we will do up some spa packs for family and friends. I did a search on patterns for washcloths and my favourite one is here.

What type of yarns do others use for washcloths/dishcloths? I would be interested to find out.

    Washcloths are very addictive… 😉

    I also like the corn yarn you can get from Spotlight, it comes in some great colours.

    Hi gang,
    I love the idea of a mother daughter blog. My blog is predominantly my work, I have however posted my 16 year old daughters cup cake bag. I have 2 daughters 12 and 16 and I am also 40ish and we all craft together. Your fav books and movies are also similar to ours! Cool!

    What a lovely idea to have a mother and daughter blog! I can see I’m going to be back often for recipe tips!

    I don’t knit, so don’t know anything about yarn, but I really like the idea of a corn yarn washcloth it sounds really good and “scrubby”! See you again soon!

    I noticed you are reading “The Almost Moon”,I love that book.After having Skye it was the first book I got into.A girlfriend gave it to me,she didn’t have kids then,and while I was grateful,I thought ‘when will I have time to read a whole book’,but it’s amazing.Enjoy!

    Looks like Spotlight are really coming along with their yarn choices. Now I am going to have to bring an extra suitcse when I come to Australia for my yarn purchases.
