Overview of the Yarn Bee Scrub-ology Scrub it Yarn
The Yarn Bee Scrub-ology Scrub it Yarn is a chunky number five yarn made from 100% nylon. It is available in a range of vibrant colors, and each ball contains three ounces, which is equivalent to 79 yards. This yarn is specifically designed for making scrubbies, and its unique texture sets it apart from traditional yarns.
Why Nylon Yarn is Perfect for Scrubbies
Nylon yarn is the ideal choice for making scrubbies, especially for kitchen use. Unlike cotton or cotton blend yarns, nylon does not absorb water, preventing that unpleasant mildew smell that often develops in cotton scrubbies. The Yarn Bee Scrub-ology Scrub it Yarn is specially crafted to have a texture that mimics the effect of using two years ago. However, it also has a core that helps the scrubby maintain its shape.
The Unique Texture and Shape of the Yarn Bee Scrub-ology Scrub it Yarn
The Yarn Bee Scrub-ology Scrub it Yarn has a distinct texture that gives your scrubbies extra scrubbing power. This texture is similar to the effect achieved by cutting tool into long strips and crocheting with it. The yarn's texture, combined with its sturdy core, makes it perfect for tackling tough cleaning tasks in the kitchen, bathroom, or anywhere else in the home.
Benefits of Using Nylon Yarn for Scrubbies
Using nylon yarn, such as the Yarn Bee Scrub-ology Scrub it Yarn, for your scrubbies offers several benefits. Firstly, nylon does not retain moisture like cotton yarn, preventing unpleasant odors. Nylon scrubbies also last longer and maintain their shape, thanks to the durable core in the yarn. Moreover, nylon scrubbies are easy to clean and quick to dry, making them hygienic and convenient to use.
Materials Needed to Make Scrub-it Scrubbies
To make your own scrub-it scrubbies, you will need the following materials:
- Yarn Bee Scrub-ology Scrub it Yarn or two strands of cotton or cotton blend yarn
- J-hook crochet hook
- Scissors
Step-by-Step Guide to Making a Double-Sided Scrubby
- Start by creating a slipknot and chaining 5. Join the chain in a circle by pulling the tail through the loop.
- Chain 3, and then work 12 double crochets into the circle. Join to the top of the chain 3 with a slip stitch.
- For the second row, chain 3 and close the center hole by gently pulling the tail. Weave in the end securely.
- Double crochet in the same stitch as the chain 3, and then work 2 double crochets in each of the remaining stitches. Join to the chain 3 with a slip stitch.
- For the third row, chain 1 and single crochet around both circles to join them together. Continue single crocheting until you reach the first stitch.
- Chain 12 and join to the same single crochet with a slip stitch. Cut the yarn, leaving a tail for weaving in later.
- Weave in the ends using your crochet hook, making sure the stitches are secure and hidden between the layers of the scrubby.
Tips for Working with the Yarn Bee Scrub-ology Scrub it Yarn
- The Yarn Bee Scrub-ology Scrub it Yarn can be a bit challenging to work with due to its unique texture. Take your time and be patient while crocheting to ensure neat and even stitches.
- When weaving in the ends, use your crochet hook to secure the yarn between the layers of the scrubby. This method helps keep the ends hidden and prevents them from coming loose.
Alternative Yarn Options for Scrubbies
If you prefer not to use the Yarn Bee Scrub-ology Scrub it Yarn, you can still make scrubbies using alternative materials. Cotton or cotton blend yarns are an excellent choice for their absorbency and softness. Simply use two strands of cotton held together to match the thickness of the chunky yarn.
