Cletter Better is the ultimate dishcloth scrubby.

The front and back are knit on separate sets of dpns then joined and seamed together with an i-cord bind off creating a smooth, attractive edge finished with a useful hanging loop.

Finished diameter of cloth is 5 inches.

’Clettering dishes’ is a particular chore Adam Lambsbreath (a farm labourer in the excellent novel Cold Comfort Farm by Stella Gibbons) takes upon himself. While he preferred a thorn twig to clean with, one hopes he would have been smitten with a dish scrubbing cloth the likes of this one.
It is a magnificent blend of cotton dish cloth and scrubby underbelly that makes washing dishes a breezy, even delightful chore.
