[NFB-Krafters-Korner] Scrubology yarn

Fri Oct 22 20:59:18 UTC 2021

Thanks for the tip on the purple! Walmart does carry wool ease also. I accidentally grabbed it one day. I turned it into a pot holder for our friend Janessa when she moved to her apartment. Hi Nate it together some thinner stuff that was blue purple and gray with it. She really loves it. She’s going to use it as a part holder. It is too thick for anything else of course. I don’t have enough as I have only one scan for my nieces. I’ll see what I can do to get more perhaps. Her sister Sophie is more the pain in the butt 11-year-old that you can’t make happy no matter what you do. But a LI is pretty easy-going and will just be thrilled it’s pink or purple. :-)

>> Has anybody tried this scrub Ology yarn yet? It says it is specifically for dish cloths. I think this is the yarn someone used to make a round washcloth type thing and my mom bought a couple from her. They were really cool. I got one for Christmas last year or the year before, I can’t remember. It kind of has a loofah affect! They have both plain colors and variegated colors at hobby lobby.

>> What is the best brand or type of yarn to make children’s scarves? We’re talking winter in Wisconsin. I was thinking baby blanket type. Worsted weight is medium right? That’s what it seems like when I look on the sites. Anything else someone can give me as a bit of good advice is appreciated. I have B ER NAT variegated white, blue and some kind of yellowish orange colored yarn that I am using for one of the nieces scarves. It is baby blanket. I don’t remember the color name. It’s turning out really cool. The other niece likes purple and pinks.
