Lovely Heart Dishcloth: Yarn & Color Recommendations
Updated: Feb 3, 2021
My Lovely Heart Dishcloth pattern is a simple heart dishcloth that I released in celebration of Valentine’s Day. You may purchase the pattern on Ravelry, Payhip, or LoveCrafts, or have the free PDF sent to your email.
The yarn that I used for my Lovely Heart Dishcloth samples is Lily Sugar 'n Cream solids and Lily Sugar 'n Cream ombre. This is a 100% cotton worsted weight yarn. Really, any of the colors would work well with the Lovely Heart Dishcloth pattern, but in this post I'll share a few colors that I would love to use, as well as recommend some other cotton yarns that would also work well with this pattern!
Color Suggestions
The colors that I used are Red (the solid red color) and Strawberry (the ombre pink and white color). Some other color recommendations that I have are:
Solids: Teal, Sage, Hot Purple, Hot Pink, Hot Blue
Ombre: Moondance, Potpourri, Mistletoe Green, Ahoy, Fruit Punch
Yarn Recommendations
In this section I've included only 100% cotton yarn. I've organized these yarn recommendations from cheapest to most expensive, per gram.
