I have been knitting these for years...
and once you wash your dishes with them, you will never go back ;-)
I just knitted a whole batch to stock up...
They also make lovely gift.
You will need the following -
1 ball Vinnis Colours yarn - cotton or bamboo
or a combo of both.
Additional yarn for coloured stripe if desired.
