Best Yarn for Different Projects

[deann]

Hello,

Can someone please tell me what is the best yarn to use for washcloths, and bathroom hand towels??

I do not use wool; so it would need to be in the cotton/acrylic category. Plesae help.

DUMB QUESTION: Is the "dishie" yarn ONLY for dish towels and dish clothes?

Thanking you in advance!!

I've only used non-mercerized cotton for dish cloths and towels. The basic Sugar & Cream-type yarn works great. Acrylic doesn't absorb water, so I don't think it would work as well.

The Dishie yarn from Knitpicks is just worsted cotton. You can use it for anything you like.
