Boring coloured dishcloth question!

Hi,

First-time post in this forum :D Can anyone recommend a place to buy non-white dishcloths? The type of knitted, stringy ones that are common everywhere. Green or blue would be preferable, but anything other than white would do.

John Lewis used to stock green ones but they've been discontinued. For various reasons I'd rather buy although I'm aware knitting or dying are options.

Thanks in advance :j

    When I used to get the multi packs of minky cloths they came in various colours. I put the blue ones and pink ones in the Bathroom and used the rest in the kitchen. THe reasoning behind this was 'blue for the loo and pink for the sink'. I haven't seen any of these packs for a while, so if anyone sees any around perhaps they would be kind enough to let me know.
