Stria Washcloths

I'm using the Manos Cotton Stria I bought at Commuknity to knit some washcloths as a house warming gift for a friend who just moved back to CA. I plan to knit two, maybe three different versions. I'm currently working on one in seed stitch.

The yarn label recommends needle sizes 4-6 (US). I started with size 6 needles but the fabric was too flopping and I wanted something firmer so I ripped out and went down to a size 5 needle. It's still more loosely knit then I'd like. Since the yarn is a bit wavy I'm having a hard time pulling it tight while knitting. It's a bit frustrating. I think knitting on my Denise Needles is part of the problem as well. I think I should be using metal needles so the yarn will slide a bit better. It's been really slow going.
