Yarn
Cotton yarn is my go-to choice for washcloths and dishcloth because of its softness, durability, and absorbency. Plus, it’s machine washable, which makes it perfect for items like washcloths that need to stand up to daily use. If you’ve never worked with cotton yarn before, this is the perfect project to give it a try—you’ll love how it feels and how well it works up into a functional, stylish piece.
For these washcloths, I used different worsted weight (4) cotton blend yarns. You can used anycotton yarn you want or prefer.
