Weekly Wash #27: Drop Down Cloths
Durable cloths that can actually be used as wash cloths and dish cloths, over and over, are my favorites. These are made with a spike stitch which makes the fabric more dense, plus they are easy to make.
These match my “Bee Happy Hanging Towel“, plus a larger version will be available soon too.
