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.”
