Fanny seems very contented and it looks as if her lads are doing well. As far as one can ever tell on social media.

I do not knit body parts, even for the NHS.

Question... Can any cotton be used for knitting/crochet dishcloths? I've some mercerised cotton I'm thinking I might use up, but don't know if it'd work.

Mercerised cotton will make acceptable dusters but isn't very good for dishcloths.

Most of the main yarn brands do a 100% cotton yarn and you can get lovely colours :)
