MATERIALS
To make two Simple Stripe Washcloths, you’ll need…

2 skeins of Purl Soho’s Field Linen, 100% linen. Each skein is 295 yards/ 100g; approximately 135 yards required per washcloth. (NOTE: Field Linen is no longer available, but choose from one of our other sport weight yarns.)

  • Main Color: 1 skein; approximately 110 yards required per washcloth. We used the colors Trowel Gray, Blue Heron, Electric Blue, Purple Plum, Ruby Pink, Red Onion, Red Radish, Carnelian Orange, and Warm Copper.
  • Contrast Color: 1 skein; approximately 25 yards required per washcloth. We used the color Queen Anne’s Lace.

You will also need…

NOTE: With just 1 skein of each color, you can reverse the Main and Contrast colors to make two additional washcloths. Also, if you’re thinking about making lots of washcloths, it’s helpful to know that one skein of the Contrast Color can make stripes for 11 washcloths.
