i currently have about 40 handwoven dishcloths available. Most singles and some tied together in neat little bundles of 3. These are made with 100% cotton and are washing machine safe.
It's not often that i have time to sit, and these require sitting. i used to only make these on long car rides and sitting in hotels while traveling. The last couple years there has been a lot of that. So i've spent a lot of time with my loom. What was once just a fun craft i did occasionally, became a much needed respite. i don't weave for fun or just to make dishcloths, i weave because i have to. To care about weaving is to be in touch with a 10,000-year-old human tradition that binds us to our ancestors and to each other.

If you've been following my summer adventures you know many of these were woven at various outdoor concerts and music festivals. Sierra Ferrell, Del McCoury, Molly Tuttle, Sister Sadie and more! So i do believe each dishcloth holds the spirit of the music & magic. 😉 Of course each one is also made with love. ❤
In the evenings i've been working to get them finished and listing them in my Ko-fi shop. Each set has 3 cotton dishcloths, woven on a loom and finished with a crocheted border. These sets are $15 per pack. i also have individual dishcloths for sale for $5 each. If you are local i can meet up in town this weekend. For everyone else, i do ship. For anyone interested the looms are made by my FIL. You can find them on Etsy in the BigFam15 shop, i believe mine is the 10" mini loom in oak.
Many people weave all of their lives without knowing that it is not cloth they are after. (Attributed to Henry David Thoreau, but not exactly his quote.)
