I really enjoy making crochet dishcloths and washcloths. In my opinion you can never have too many. Today I’ve got two free dishcloth and scrubbie patterns for you to crochet, plus a in depth review of five styles of dishcloth yarn.<\/p>\n

This dishcloth yarn review and free Washcloth Crochet Pattern is a collaboration with American Yarns. This post contains affiliate links<\/p><\/div>\n

The variety of dishcloth and scrubby yarns on the market is endless. I picked up a random assortment from American Yarns<\/a> to try out their current range, some of the yarns are just brand new to their store.<\/p>\n

There were really so many pretty colours and styles to choose from that it was hard to narrow this yarn review down to just these handful.<\/p>\n

\"Assorted<\/p>\n

I think I selected a good variety, and gave them a test run on two styles of dishcloth crochet patterns<\/strong>, which you can find if you scroll down<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Both these crochet patterns combine beautifully to make a lovely dishcloth and scrubby set. A perfect little gift for a friend or neighbor, as a housewarming gift, or even a stocking stuffer at Christmas.<\/p>\n

I’ve taken all the guess work out of picking a yarn, and have reviewed five dishcloth yarn ranges from American Yarns<\/a> individually, with pros, cons and recommended uses.<\/p>\n

And because I’m super thorough, I’ve been using them too wash and clean too. I really wanted to see how they worked for washing dishes, scrubbing pots, and wiping down surfaces.<\/p>\n

All this dishcloth testing has the added bonus that my kitchen is now sparkly clean!<\/p>\n

Which Dishcloth Yarn should I choose?<\/h2>\n

With so many varieties of dishcloth yarns on offer, it can be hard to decide which one to choose.<\/p>\n

There is no right or wrong answer, it really depends on what you are going to use your cloths for.<\/p>\n

As a general rule, yarns made from cotton, bamboo, or purpose made synthetic yarns are well suited. Avoid acrylic, wool or wool blends.<\/p>\n

Here are the yarns I tried, along with my thoughts, in no particular order:<\/p>\n
