eco scrubbing

Need a quick and fun summer project? Knit a few dish cloths! This tiny project is just a few hours worth of knitting, and you can test out as many patterns as you'd like. A machine washable dishcloth is easy to use and to clean, and it's much better than buying disposable sponges to clean your dishes!

We have knit up a few examples using Carezza Cotton. This machine washable cotton is a light worsted weight and gets 85 metres to one 50 gram ball, and it costs only $3.49! You could knit 3 solid coloured dishcloths with just 2 balls of this lovely cotton yarn.
