Knit Face Scrubby

Peaches and Cremé Original cotton with Red Heart Scrubby.

    This pattern works up quickly, and should be doable for beginners once they're used to holding strands double and have adjusted to the string-like texture of scrubby yarn. If one wants softer exfoliation, substituting in more regular cotton for the scrubby yarn would work well.

What you need:
10.5/6.50 mm knitting needles
K10.5/6.50 mm crochet hook (L11/8.00mm recommended for binding off)
9 yards worsted-weight [4] yarn
9 yards scrubby yarn

Stitch Key (US terminology):
Knit
Purl

 

Scrubby

Two rows in.
Holding both strands together, make a slipknot and crochet cast-on 10 with the first hook size.

Row 4-5:
Knit 4, purl 2, knit 4.

Image
Cake winders are handy for taking care of leftovers, once you work partly through a skein or cone.       Comprised of 100% cotton, Peaches and Creme Original is a worsted weight [4] yarn belonging under the Yarnspirations umbrella, additionally sold at Walmart and Joann's.

Regular skeins of solids and ombrés are 120 (109m) and 95 (86m) yards respectively, whereas the cones are 674 yards (616m) across the board.    Texture       While it isn't the softest, this yarn does have a nice cottony feel to it. It makes for good face scrubs, if you prefer a milder texture, and can be combined with scrubby yarns to tone them down a little. It's overall pleasant in my experience, to work with and feel on the finished product. It's not especially slippery, so I usually find it to be a good candidate for fringe as well. Flexibilit...

Wool of the Andes Worsted, A Yarn Review

Image
  Pictured above is Delft Heather and Coal, image modified to try to remove yellow lighting tint.        Wool of the Andes Worsted is a line carried by KnitPicks and sister site WeCrochet , made of 100% Peruvian Highland wool.

Both of these visual textures come in skeins at 110 yards (100.5 meters)/50 grams (1.76 ounces) for the same price.       Additionally, Wool of the Andes comes in sport, bulky, superwash worsted, superwash bulky, and a worsted tweed line (Peruvian Wool and Donegal Tweed) - several of those variants also being sold in an undyed version (called Bare on the website).   Texture      Unlike what seems to be the general expectation of wool, this has been fairly soft in my experience. I would say it's good for items such as hats, scarves, and fingerless gloves - things ...
