Details of swap: You can sign up to make either one dishcloth/washcloth to send to a partner or can sign up to send 2 washcloth/dishcloths to the samepartner. Dishcloths must be made with cotton- washcloths with cotton or I've even seen a flower one done with chenile. Peaches and Cream runs about 1.29 a ball at Wally World, Sugar & Cream runs around 1.50 a ball at Micheals or you can buy the larger balls at Joanns for 1.99. You can also by all cotton at your local yarn store. Debbie Bliss, and Jaeger "Aqua" are also spiffy cotton yarns that come in a wide range of colors if you want to go that route.( My LYS just ran a 40% off clearance on theirs so I stocked up! Whoo hoo! lol
One note: variated yarns do not tend to show pattern designs too well. Please keep that in mind when choosing your yarn.
All cloths need to have some sort of pattern-whatever you choose. Please do not do plain garter stitch. This swap is a perfect way for practicing new stitch patterns. Get as crazy as you'd like!
