i purchased some DMC Nova Vita recycled cotton yarn from Woolybutt. It was a bit expensive, can't quite remember how much. I've decided to just knit some dishcloths with it as it feels quite strong and textured. A good combination for dishcloths as mine are showing severe signs of wear. That I've had my dishcloths for many years doesn't make me feel bad about replacing them. However, this yarn also includes 20% polyester and I'm not sure that the repercussions that might arise (ie. micro plastics) from using it as a dishcloth, makes me feel that this is a one-off attempt.
I am looking at recycling my pure cotton worn out dishcloths, but it's not going well so far, as I seem unable to unpull the yarn in sufficient lengths and I can't seem to find a way of shredding them. Another project.
Anyway, some new dishcloths for me.
PS Woolybutt is looking so good under new management.
