I was given a ball of jute yarn. I thought I'd use it to try out a crochet waffle stitch that has been on my to-do list for some time. I used Chip Flory's pattern for a Waffle Crochet Dishcloth. It was very easy, and the jute shows the waffle pattern up well. But it is stiff and harsh to the touch, more a pot scourer than a dishcloth perhaps. I wonder what the person who gave me the jute originally intended to do with it?

Jute is pretty coarse. I've never seen dyed jute yarn before. Maybe the person bought it for tying packages and thought the colour was prettier than the natural one?
ReplyDeleteLooks great! :)
ReplyDeleteI was also wondering what they had intended to use it for. Place mats or something like that maybe?
ReplyDeleteWould work for placemats or perhaps a sturdy market bag. Or just for tying parcels!
