How much yarn?

I cannot believe it but due to watching a youtube video or two I have actually learned how to cast on and knit a few stitches - Woo Hoo! My new question is does anyone know how to guestimate how much yarn it would take to knit a cotton dishcloth?
Thank you for those of you who suggested the videos - they certainly did the trick

One dishcloth takes slightly less than one of the small balls of cotton yarn found at Hobby Lobby, Wal-Mart, JoAnnes, etc. When I knit them, I usually have some odds and ends left over - then I make some multicolor ones. One of the Large cones of cotton yarn will make multiple dishcloths.

WTG Ellen. But be forewarned, knitting dishcloths can be addictive!

he, he, he, I've already found that to be true. As I was working with my fifth grader this morning I was secretly thinking, "hmmm, maybe I could fit in a few minutes of knitting before lunchtime."
