Word of mouth is the best recommendation Sharron. Great that so many people are using them and loving them. <3

I am not really promoting them but people who have had a dishcloth are now wanting one for somebody else.

No, Bob, they don't shrink in the wash. They are cotton and can be boiled and bleached to infinity. Once they do wear out, or the owner dies and nobody wants to take the cloth on, it can go on the compost heap to rot because it is just made of cotton.

Green and economical.

No, a dishcloth is fifty stitches and a floor cloth is seventy-five.

Just when I thought my life could not be more sophisticated, somebody has asked me to knit them two floor cloths.
