Jeanette Robichaud's Hand-Knitted Cloths

The first thing you’ll notice about Jeanette Robichaud is her warm and joyous smile and the sparkle in her eyes. Next, you’ll see her swift hands knitting up a storm, and then you’ll see a tabletop filled with so many knitted squares that they look like waves on the ocean’s surface. There are cloths of every hue all colour coordinated in a rainbow presentation that ensures that there will be one to match every decor. Perfect for washing dishes, for dusting your delicate surfaces, or even as a facecloth, each one takes up to four hours to knit. All 100% cotton, they are completely washable – but hang to dry. They are much more sanitary than the proverbial kitchen of bath sponge, and they are soft and durable.

Jeanette came to the Marché Moncton Market with a relative who made and sold bracelets at her booth, and Jeanette saw a way to market her hobby of making knitted cloths into a lucrative venture. Now with a table of her own in the Marché Moncton Market Festival Hall, Jeanette can be found at the market every other week on Saturdays. In the market for a super dishcloth? Drop by and pick up a collection for the entire house, or add a few to cosmetic, spa, or household product gift baskets for family and friends and continue the Maritime tradition of innovation and imagination in everyday uses. Happy cleaning!
