cotton. The yarn is very hard wearing and the cloths will last and last, still
looking bright and making you smile as you wash those dishes! There are 4 basic
patterns in the dishcloths, stripe, edge. half and half and double stripe.
An
example of each is shown here.
The cloths are 8.5cm x 8.5cm, just the right
size for holding in the hand. They wash well at 60º in the washing machine.
The dishcloths are £7.50 each
The cards are A6 in size, that is 10.5cm x 14.2cm.
They are
printed from a card collagraph plate on a Japanese printmaking paper and then
fixed to a cream card. They are miniature works of art! Card and envelopes
are from recycled paper.
There are only 10 or 15 of the same image as the cardboard
plate from which it is printed does not last too long. New designs are always
being printed as the seasons change and new inspirations come along.
