Top yarn is 4 ply cotton yarn, the bottom is the Honeysuckle cotton yarn.
Tucked away in one of my yarn totes is yarn from a store closeout. I think I bought it, thinking I was buying cotton yarn the thickness of a 4 yarn. It is very thin cotton yarn, and about a thin 2 maybe? the label doesn't even say what hook size to use or even the thickness. It is USA made, and I think the company closed back around 2011. I've had the yarn that long.Not that I need another project right now, as we have so many going on, but I wanted to find a use of this yarn. I'm trying very hard to get stuff made for the last craft show.
By the way, I was invited to another craft show, and once again the cost would be $50.00. This particular show was $20.00 for a 2-table space the last time I participated. Crazy high prices, unless you sell high priced items. It just takes the "fun" out of fun.
Anyway, back to the subject of this post, which I apologize if it's boring.
Funny, how I can get hooked onto a new project. I was moving my binder project to another area (for a winter snowy day project), and a pattern fell out. It was for baby washcloths (crochet pattern). I him-hawed, and left it sit on the end table. Well, I had written the source of the pattern, and borrowed the library book again, just for fun.
I had the pattern, but not the photo, so hence the book borrowing. The color of the yarn (to me) was perfect for something "baby" so I gave it a whirl. I figured 100% cotton was just right for a baby washcloth with the thin cotton yarn.
I think they are turning out nicely. I used a "D" hook. I have yet to try them myself, so I may be asking a friend to try them first, but I may have found a purpose for the yarn, and will make some up for gifting or donating.
I also have some cotton blend baby yarn I mistakenly ordered several years ago, and forgot to return. I made a few washcloths with that too to try. It's not 100% cotton, but I found a pattern online where they used the same blend for dishcloths. I mean, if it's a "washcloth" you would not be re-using it, so I believe I found another way to use up another "oops" yarn purchase.
Just in case you crochet, this book has the pattern for the baby washcloths, and there are 3 patterns. I have only made one so far.
Also, a pattern in this book. I made these to sell at craft shows. I am sold out, but it takes two strands of cotton at a time to make it.,
A cute and very easy pattern also in this book. I made these one year for gifting. They did not sell at all at the craft shows. I tucked these in with other gifts. Sometimes the ribbon can be found at the dollar stores.
Sorry for the long post. I never intended that, ha ha! I have one person trying both washcloths with their baby.
