Make Dish Cloths Out Of Towels

I’m absolutely loving using the crocheted dishcloths that Ann made for me, they don’t get smelly, are super easy to clean and are very absorbent; so much better than using a synthetic sponge.
Now I’d like several more, but not being much of a knitter myself, I was looking for other dishcloth options when one of our newsletter readers sent in this idea – making dishcloths from old towels. What a great way to upcycle.

“Most people have a hot water cupboard full of towels and I was over buying new dishcloths every couple of months. Apparently the yellow cloths are full of micro-fibres.

We discovered a few years ago that old bath towel make excellent dishcloths when cut to the right size and hemmed. We choose a towel that had good absorption and out of one towel we got about 10/12 dishcloths.”
