Santa Fe Sunset Knit Cotton Cloth

Description

Like a sunset in in the desert this cloth features soothing natural colors of brown, crimson and ecru in a random color scheme. Soothing and soft as a summer breeze, this cloth will add a touch of luxury to your bath or shower.

This cloth is knit in the Feather and Fan stitch, which is one of my most popular knit stitches. It is a generous 8 inches across and nearly 11 long at the lowest scalloped edge. You can clean up a lot of messes with this cloth!

All my cloths are knit in a smoke-free home. I do have pets, but all possible care is taken to keep knits and pets as far away from each other as possible.

Facts I found on the internet:

IF the entire population of Indiana used and discarded only ONE (1) paper towel per WEEK, it would equal 3,359 TONS of paper in 1 YEAR that CANNOT be recycled. By comparison, the average family sedan weighs around 2 TONS (4,000 pounds)

Use cloths or rags for dusting and cleaning instead of paper towels. Doing so can help save the 27 million trees used each year to make paper towels!

Every day the words Recycle, Reuse, Reduce come at us from every direction. Sure you can recycle and reuse some things, maybe even most things. But don't forget that last word - REDUCE!!!

Reducing your use of disposable items that take up room in already over-flowing landfills REDUCES your impact on your environment.

Yes, the growing and harvesting of cotton, along with many other "natural" fibers, uses other equally vital resources also in diminishing supply. But if you spill something and need to clean it up, the odds are that grabbing a washable, re-usable knit cotton cloth will have a lot less impact on this planet than grabbing that paper towel.

For less than the price of 1 or 2 rolls of landfill-clogging paper towels that will be used up in the twinkling of an eye, this simple knit cotton cloth will out-clean and out-last many, many rolls of paper towels.

100% cotton yarn is durable and, with only a tiny bit of care, this cloth will last for years. Just like your favorite jeans, the cloth will become softer and more absorbent after repeated washing. They are easy to wash too, just throw them in with the rest of your towels or other laundry. No special handling required.

I have been knitting cloths like this for my own use for years and not one is even the least bit worse for wear. I use mine to not only clean myself but my bathroom, and worse still, my craft room. I haven't had to discard 1 knit cloth yet. That’s more than I can say for even the strongest paper towel.
