I know people knit little dishcloths, but which yarn do you use, thanks for your help

Not me.... but I came across this a few days ago, great site and has a section on knitting them using 8 ply cotton.

Gee this brings back memories. My mother taught me to me making them.

This one would be a good pattern for a dishcloth. It's a tea towel and dish cloth that I crocheted and obviously it's a miniature so I used silk sewing thread but for a full size one I would definitely use cotton.

The tea towel is woven crochet but it would be good for a dish cloth/cleaning cloth too.

good grief, I'd need coke bottle glasses to be able to do anything that fine.

What do you do with your miniatures Joono,

I suppose I can say now as I can't be accused of advertising. Up until a while ago I used to sell them on ebay. I've taken a very long break while I do some knitting and stuff (and resting my eyes lol).

I've got my own dolls house displays that I use them in too.

thanks everyone ,I thought it would be cotton but just checking.I like to wash my dishcloths often and I am sick of them disintegrating.
