Notes

Making this basic washcloth in different cottons to compare their properties. First knooking project. Worked in Eastern knitting.

Initial impression (before washing), from most to least soft: Recycled sweater, Simply Cotton, (Lion Cotton, P&C, SnC - all very similar), Senso, Dishie. After washing, they are still in the same order for softness.
