Honeycomb Dish Cloths

Have moved from face cloths to dish cloths. Michael's has been discounting Lily's Scrubby yarn. It's a cotton tape with a fringed edge. I hope it works well as a dish cloth with tooth. I find it is a little irritating to the skin to work with. Anyway, for the following pattern, one ball of regular Sugar'n Cream 100% cotton will be just enough for 4 dish cloths, but one ball of Scrubby will only make two dish cloths. (Pattern courtesy of Lily.)

I hadn't yet heard of Scrubby. Thanks for letting me know about it, and for sharing the pattern.
