My cousin makes these and brings me a few every time she visits.  Frankly, I don't really like them as dishcloths, but instead, I use them under my cutting boards to keep them from slipping.  I also use them on the table so I can place a hot dish without harming the surface.

 

Perhaps yours are more conducive to washing dishes, but my cousin's really are not.

 

I don't see how you can make money for the amount you would have to ask for them. Woman Sad

I would charge her $4.50 each and give her an extra one.

 I crochet dishcloths. It costs me about a dollar in yarn and 1 hour to make one. What should I charge for each one. A lady wants 6. 😊 ❤ 😊 


that's 6 hours of your work..... minimum wage x 6 ?

 

if you belong to Ravelry you might get help there.

 

as a knitter I would be careful on this one, don't undervalue your work

Add the cost of materials and your labor.What is your time worth?Then compare with other similar items.

I'm chuckling what @Laura14 posted as I've tried every brand including big $$$ Williams Sonoma towels so I want to be your 3rd  customer...if they really dry & aren't sopping wet after drying a few things -- to me it's priceless!!!

 

@Laura14:  The only ones I found really work are this pack of "tea towels" or "flour sack" style my gf bought me from WM she swore by them & they were cheap!   I can't find them anymore ...of course☹️

I only use terrycloth dish towels. Nothing else absorbs.

From what I understand, these are dishcloths, to wash dishes, not dish towels to dry them.

Right.  I completely misread or misunderstood.  I was thinking they were dish towels.

@Citrine1& @proudlyfromNJ, I made that mistake recently. Kitchen towels are the ones for drying dishes (and wiping your hands).

 

I always buy mine at WS. I went there a few weeks ago to replenish mine but bought dish clothes by accident. I washed them before realizing my mistake, so I couldn't return them.

 

They are too small for drying dishes, so I use them for rags because I prefer a brush or one of those netted thingies to rinse or clean my dishes.

 

That said, I hope that the OP will get a fair price.
