i love making my own dish clothes, but something is lacking now in my more sustainable dish duties. the scrubbing factor. i wanted a more powerful scrub. so i got on the net and did a little research. this is what i came up with. tulle. you can get tulle from any fabric store, and what you want is the super stiff tulle, they have a shinny, sparkly, small mesh tulle, this will work, but the courcer stuff is really what works. if you are like me and want more power from your dish cloth. use this stiff stuff.
so get your tulle. just 1/4 of a yard will do for this small square. i cut 1 inch strips back and forth, not cutting all the way to the end so that you have one continuous strip. and yes you'll have corners, but they don't matter they will just blend-in.
you will also need a 100% cotton yarn.
with your size 6 needles cast on 16 stiches with the cotton yarn.
row 1 add the tullle strip and knit together with the cotton yarn.
i like a small square for this scrubbie but you can make this as large as you like.
just keep knitting back and forth. untill desired length.
cast off and weave in ends.
