I love how you combined the white yarn. It really makes the colorful stitches stand out even more.

That yarn is so hard on the hands but it really is so excellent for scrubbing!

@Magpie, it’s not if you make all your scrubbies on a round loom and thread your yarn through a straw or loom knitting pen, as I do. There are only 4 times in the project I have to touch the yarn. The beginning–enough to thread the yarn through a needle, the first row to get it started, the last row where I place the first row back on the loom and then to rethread the needle to secure the scrubbie to knit it off. Plus, both these yarns are 100% cotton, this is not the polyester yarn I used for my other scrubbies but the method I use is the same for all. Using the straw or loom knitting pen allows me to go around the loom faster and saves my hands from touching much yarn at all in my projects.

They make yarn just for scrubbies? That’s so cool. I love how yours turned out. It makes me happy when practical items are also lovely.
