Notes

• Use cotton yarn for face or bath use. Don’t use cotton for dirty dishes, as it won’t dry quickly and will hold odors. Cotton will soften with use.
• Use polyester yarn for dishes. It dries quickly, holds up to very heavy use, and won’t hold odors. It’s a bit too coarse for wanting to use on my face.
• I wash them with the regular towels without fabric softener (wax). During the week, it dries on a hook in the sink between scrubbing dishes.
