Oh my goodness! I love novelty yarns! This is the perfect dish cloth to add a pop of color and decorate the kitchen for the holidays. There are so many different colors (27 from the red heart website) that matching them up with a holiday shouldn't be difficult at all. I bet the texture will help get the dishes clean too!

I love this yarn. I make simple scrubbies holding a strand of cotton yarn with the scrubby yarn. Also, I prefer a smaller size...4x4". The cotton is great for absorbing dish soap and wiping down counters and they wash and dry perfectly .

Love the scrubby look of the yarn - like it was made just to knit dishcloths. Could also use it for a washcloth in the bath, or to wash the dog. Sometimes simply knitting a dishcloth is te perfect way to de-stress.

I am one of those people who cannot sit doing nothing - these dishcloths/scrubbies are ideal no pattern to follow, just knit to size. Not wasting time, using time to do something practical. I like this

Really? I have 2 skeins here, but each skein is just 92 yards,is it possible to get larger balls somewhere? I made 1 dishcloth with a different pattern and I barely had enough to finish it. I'd love to know what size of these balls make alot of dishcloths.
