Angular diamonds in soft cotton help clean without scratching.
Materials
Worsted weight cotton (sample was made with Lily Sugar 'n Cream in Bright Navy), about 60 yds
Needles that give you a gauge of 5 st/in. This is if you want to make a standard 9" cloth. If not, use needles that give you a fabric you like with the yarn you use. (The sample was made using US4/3.5mm.)
Yarn needle for weaving in ends
