The Best Yarn for Dishcloth Patterns? Hint... it's Cotton Yarn!
Before we get to the good stuff (the free patterns!), let’s talk yarn. When it comes to crocheted dishcloths & crochet washcloths, crochet cotton yarn is your MVP. It’s absorbent, durable, and can handle the high heat of your washing machine. Plus, it’s easy on the hands and comes in a rainbow of colors.
My personal favorite? Paintbox Cotton Aran, hands down this is my go to cotton. This yarn is so easy to work with and more importantly comes in a wide array of fun, bright colors, pastels and neutrals. But really, any 100% cotton yarn will do the trick. And there are a lot of tried and true faves out there, I recommend any of the following for crafting you wash cloths!
