Featuring Herrschner's Cottage Cotton
I got one skein of this yarn as a sample from Herrschner's, and immediately fell in love with the feel and color. Herrschner's Cottage Cotton has a wonderful feel to it, so smooth, soft, and strong. While I received Tame Teal, there are 20 lovely colors in total. Here's the official website description:
"Herrschner's Cottage Cotton yarn is a delightfully soft cotton blend with a color palette inspired by the countryside. This worsted weight yarn takes cotton yarn to the next level by blending cotton with acrylic, giving this easy-care yarn a light, airy feel that is cozy yet breathable. Each ball contains 3.5 ounces (207 yards) of worsted weight yarn in a range of muted pastels. The machine washable cotton/acrylic blend is perfect for home projects, blankets, and fashions."
Indeed, if I had more of it, it might have ended up becoming a top! But with just one skein, it makes a gorgeous dishcloth or washcloth - it's certainly soft enough for the bath. Small projects like the Bubble Pop Dishcloth are a great way to explore new stitch patterns, and try out new yarnss! So now, it's time to dive into the pattern!

I’ve tried to get this and the other pattern that is so called “free”. If $2.00 is free then I don’t understand the meaning of free

Hi Tamara!
I'm so conditioned to think only 100%:cotton can be used for washcloths. How does the acrylic in the yarn affect the feel and function of the final product? Is it still absorbent?
Love the pattern and can't wait to get started.
Thanks,
Karen
Tamara Kelly says
Hi Karen! I find that it trades a little bit of absorbency for quicker drying and longer lasting fabric. Of course, you can use whatever yarn you prefer! 🙂 Thank you so much!
