This is a picture of the yarn in my dishcloth stash. I think it is all here but I am sure a few stray skeins got away when I was rounding these up!Unfortunatley Michael's is having a sale on Sugar and Cream this week and I think my car will probably drive me there soon! I just can't control it!
This is a favorite of mine. Fantasy Naturale. Has a nice sheen and works up nice. Colors are fantastic. I also use this yarn to make crocheted ponchos for my granddaughters. 
This a picture of my latest projects. The needles are the ones I use most often. On the left are my size 7 Addi's and the red size 7 needles are actually kids needles but work great for dishcloths. These are pretty much the only supplies except for my scissors that I use for dishcloths. I did not take a picture of my patterns. Have many from the web and lots of booklets with patterns. The dishcloth was made yesterday while I worked the at the polls here. I was there from 5am - 830pm. Great chance for knitting between voters. Very high turnout here! Only able to finish one dishcloth and start a second.
Close up of my Peaches and Cream and my Sugar and Cream. Great color selection and easy to find at local stores. I know there are some more solids around here somewhere but they are pretty good at avoiding me. The Cotton Tots pictured also works for dishcloths - it is a little softer than the others.Well, I better put this stash away! Need to keep it safe! Never know when a yarn drought might happen!

Wow! That's a serious stash! I guess that's the beauty of it; you have supplies ready to go when you are in the mood to start something new. That's a great idea bringing some with you to the polls. I bring mine to the doctor's office as the waits can be awhile.
I've ordered some things for you on Etsy... you're gonna love it!
-your scavenger hunt buddy
Can't wit. Swaps are better than Christmas! I have ust started ordering from Etsy. They have some great stuff there!
I try to always have a knitting project with me when I go out. Never know when you will have to sit around.
Wow - that's a lot of cotton! I think I'll look for the Tots yarn, and give that a try.
That's a great idea having a knitting project ready when you go out. I am wondering though, do you carry a separate purse, or do you have a special knitting bag that will hold both your knitting and your wallet/person items? I would like to bring along a knitting project when I go out, but I haven't shopped yet for a kntting bag.
I do like that special bag you showed in your previous post! Just dropping in to check out some of the others posting on the swap!
That is an awesome stash. I do not have anything near that amount of yarn. I think I only have 6 balls. My Dh husband has me on a spending hold.
Wow! I'm impressed with your stash. My stash of cotton is....
