Yarn Spotlight: Sudz Crafting Cotton

If there is one thing we can be sure we will never run out of, it’s dirty dishes. As much as we would love to never have to look at them again, it’s simply not going to happen.

So, if we have to do dishes we might as well make it interesting!doing dishes

Sudz Crafting Cotton is a durable yet soft cotton in a pleasant array of colours. This workhorse of a yarn will scrub dishes and counter tops to a gleaming clean yet it won’t irritate or dry out your hands. And unlike other dishcloth cottons on the market, there is no unpleasant odour.

There is nothing saying you HAVE to knit dishcloths with Sudz. Sudz is also great for all things baby. Sweaters, blankets, bibs, you name it! Because Sudz is perfectly safe for the washer and dryer, it’s a no-brainer for new moms who don’t always have time to hand wash.

 

 

 

Sudz makes for ideal gifts. Gift it in the ball with a simple dishcloth pattern for new knitters and they will be thrilled! One ball projects are just the ticket for neophytes. And they have a functional product at the end. It’s win win!!

Or maybe you make up a nice little spa set as a gift for a new mom. Knit a delicate, lacy pattern for a spa cloth, wrap it around a bar of beautiful handmade soap, and ta-dah!! A perfect “pamper yourself” gift!

The extensive variety of colours offered in Sudz allows you to match your colours to your kitchen and bring a little personality in to your home. Have a friend who just bought a new house? What a wonderful housewarming gift–a few handmade dishcloths to coordinate with their new kitchen!

 

Sudz is an affordable way to try out new stitch patterns on a small scale. You probably don’t want to use your fancy ball of cashmere to try out that new cable pattern you saw. Why not use a ball of Sudz? You get to try out your new pattern without risking the integrity of your art yarn, and you have a finished dishcloth or doily when you are done! Have a few mistakes in it? The dishes won’t mind, we can assure you of that!!

Reusable grocery bags are all the rage these days, so now’s the time to head on down to your LYS and grab a couple of balls of Sudz and go green! A wonderful last minute gift idea, these knit up in a couple of nights and people can’t get enough of them. WARNING: these can be addictive to knit!!

So the next time you need a last minute gift, want to try out a new stitch pattern or just need a break from a bigger project why not ask for Sudz and try it out? You’ll be so glad you did!

Let us know what you like to knit with dishcloth cotton. We love hearing from you and we get a lot of ideas from your comments, so please keep them coming!

Happy knitting and crocheting everyone!
