Looking for ideas for cotton yarn. There are so many nice colors. This yarn is usually used for making dishcloths. They whip up really quickly and you can do it while you watch tv. Pick the colors you like or even match your kitchen decor. Whatever you fancy, you can create. I came across some cool ideas on the internet. Like making a curtain or even a shopping bag. Instead of a shopping bag, how about a produce bag. They have more holes in it, basically a bigger stitch.
Cotton yarn is great cause they wash up nicely. They are nothing like acrylic yarn or sport yarn. The kind of yarn you would make blankets out of. You can’t use the same yarn for dishcloths because they will be in more contact with water. You don’t want them being fuzzy, or even getting fluff on your dishes. So it is recommended to use cotton yarn for them.
I first started with dishcloths, have a way too many of them now. Great time to look at other ideas for cotton yarn. There are so many ideas out there for you to explore also. Don’t limit yourself to just one thing. It is a good time to go and learn something new. You never know maybe you will love it even more than just a dishcloth.

Buy Kits To Make Items
I had bought some kits last year, a unicorn, a dragon, and a shopping bag.This are to be made of cotton and I totally forgot about them. I loved them when I seen in the store, so I will be making those soon. Maybe during the winter to keep me busy. So I plan to use the unicorn kit to use with one of my own balls of cotton. Personalize my own to me and to have in my room. But this is something you can search for online, I was surprised how much kits are out there. Make all the different things you want out of cotton, these will hold up when being washed too. Cause remember they are made of cotton, so great for toys.
I want to make a curtain for my work. Basically, a curtain made to size. To basically be a separator for my office and bedroom. But this would look beautiful and I would not mind it being there. Letting others know I am currently working and not be bothered. Cause this is my current struggle with working from home. Others don’t get that I am working and still like to bother me. This is my solution to that dilemma. Hope it works for me and my family understands I am working. Even though I never left home.
Great joys of working from home, oh and I love it. Want to know more, for sure. Check out my page or even connect with me on Facebook. Send me a message if you want to know more.
Cotton Thread Ideas I May Try
I just finished looking up some ideas for thread and I have found some ideas
- Crochet spiral earrings
- pretty bookmark
- Doily free pattern– always want to make one of these
- Crochet Heart Doilies pretty, but do look a bit complicated.
I don’t really know what I will do with all the crochet thread I bought for $5. It is about a boxful also. Do love it, but getting tired of storing it all. I gave some away already, the grey I knew I wouldn’t use at all. As that one was pretty thin and I don’t really care for making something out of grey. But I do love my simple double crochet curtain I currently am making. Gonna me so pretty cause I made it and I took the time to make it each night.
It will be a time line thing for me. How long does it take me to finish, and I started it basically after the first year anniversary of my son passing. So it will be sentimental to me each time I look at it. This is helping me to cope with what I am going thru. Hard losing my son and he was young also. Never know I may write about the struggles or how I cope. Shall see.
