Thread: DO THEY MEAN DISHCLOTH COTTON?

It's really up to you. I've found that 'dishcloth' cotton can be very soft and nice to the touch. I think that dishcloths feel stiff because they often air dry. I made a baby blanket with it and it was very soft.

What is a cotton blend like LB Cotton Ease ...I am limited with yarns as not much selection. Thank you for all the advice I am getting. Very very helpful before I buy anything and yes, I don't want it fading or going out of shape after washing.

Lion brand Cotton Ease, it's a blend of cotton and acrylic and very nice.

I've seen Sugar & Cream on cones in Joanns but only in Ecru or White. There was also a Christmas Ombre but I'm not sure if that was Sugar & Cream or Lion Kitchen Cotton. I don't know if I'd make an afghan out of Peaches n' Creme. I look for warmer yarns here in the North East but I can see that it might be nice for the warmer climates. There's that fading issue too. Maybe a cotton blend like LB...

I knitted a small blanket using cascade luna and it looks better after all the washes it has gone through. It is also much softer. Cotton may fade a little so you may want to choose softer colors that will fade well. It may be tiring to knit something larger than a dishcloth in cotton as it has little give. You will get used to it though. On a personal note I prefer to knit blankets with all natural fiber. Less of a fire hazard as natural...
