Mary Maxim Scrub It Yarn “Blue” | 4 Medium Worsted Weight Yarn for Knit & Crochet Projects | 100% Cotton | Perfect for Dishcloths, Towels and Scrubbies

Love this yarn! Easy to crochet with and makes great dish washers. They are very absorbent (after 1st machine washing) and just rough enough to loosen a bit of dried food stuck on the counter. Hint from a blog: Crochet the foundation row with a hook one size larger than the one you plan to use for the rest of the dish cloth and you will have nice square corners.

Not easy to knit or crochet with, but once finished, your dish rag will last you a long time. Dries quickly, doesn't seem to sour, and scrubs very well. Comes out great from the washing machine. I had long worried about all the sponges I'd used and then discarded. Problem solved.

I've made one dishcloth with this so far, and I like how it turned out. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is that the yarn itself is kind of hard to work with. Once you get the hang of it, though, it makes cute dishcloths that look like they'll provide a little bit more scrubbing power than ones made with the regular cotton yarn. I would use this again.

This was really fun to work with for a complete beginner. It was fun to see how the stitches and colors would look at the end.Its enough to make a small scarf, but not anymore. Really, would probably need 2 for a scarf. Still, was a lot of fun. I couldn't put it down.

First, the good news. The pattern for making a scrubby that comes with the yarn is accurate and easy to follow. And, one skein really does make a scrubby, not large, but big enough to do the job. However, there are a couple of drawbacks to the finished product. The cotton yarn soaked up a lot of bath gel without producing much lather...... I had to use about 3 times as much as I usually apply to my net scrubby. After use, I rinsed it well to get out all that absorbed gel, and hung it to dry by the handy loop. 12 hours later, it was still quite wet. and even the next morning, it was still damp. The instructions say you can put it briefly in the dryer, but that is a bit of bother. So, if you live in a humid climate, that might be a problem. Also, the wet scrubby is rather heavy. No wonder, with all that absorbed water and gel. So, it was an interesting project to make, but I don't think I will make any more, at least with this particular yarn.

I used this interesting "yarn" to create Christmassy washcloths for giving. I like the texture, and it is not hard on the fingers the way the Red Heart Scrubbie Yarn might have. I plan to wrap a small trinket in each washcloth and tie it with a red ribbon for Christmas gifts and give-aways.

If you are looking for a scrubby for your face, this will work. If you are looking for something to scrub your dishes, this is not what you need. Using tulle is the only fabric that seems to do the trick. If they would sell a tulle type of yarn, I would buy a boat load from them.

Easy to knit with, making a dishcloth.Took a reviewer 's suggestion and using larger needles than what the pattern calls for, no problems, glad I purchased this yarn, wanted 100 percent cotton for dishcloth .
