Red Hearts Scrubby yarns are now available in three different styles which are sparkle, smoothie, and cotton. I prefer the cotton as it is really the best and most absorbent material to use in the kitchen and especially for something that will be near / used with water most of the time. These could also be doubled for more durability.

I make all my scrubbies now since they are so easy to put together. They wear longer and are easy to wash. I am always knitting something. Is it nerves? Haha! So why not something useful. And now my non-knitting friends want them as well. Thank you.

Kitchen scrubbies are so useful! I can never have enough and they do make good gifts. These knit up fast too. I like this pattern because the use of two yarns makes the knitting and end result a bit more interesting and fun. Thank you for sharing this pretty little project.
