For this month’s Dishcloth of the Month Club project I used approximately 82 yards (75 meters) of Paintbox Yarns, Cotton Aran yarn. This yarn is 100% cotton. Each 50 g ball contains approximately 93 yards (85 meters).

This pretty cotton yarn creates durable dishcloths that hold up beautifully to countless cleaning tasks!
