Be So Scrubbi Yarn by Kristin Omdahl
100% polyester, textured yarn; 84 yds (77m) per 1.24oz (35g)
This is a #3 dk weight, uniquely textured yarn that is excellent for scrubbing, cleaning and gentle exfoliation. Make dishcloths, scrubbers or mitts for cleaning your pots and dishes; or for scrubbing your floors or tiles; and make washcloths, mitts or loofahs for gently exfoliating your skin!
The texture of Be So Scrubbi Yarn makes cleaning up so quick and easy. Because this yarn is polyester, it also dries more quickly than traditional cotton yarns used for dishcloths, pot scrubbers and loofahs.
Be So Scrubbi Yarn comes in Pearl White color. Replace your knit and crochet scrubbing projects when the color is no longer fresh.
This yarn retails for $2.99 per ball. Order 10 balls for a bulk discount of 15% HERE!

I just received my order of this new be So Scrubbi Yarn and immediately made a small mitt, per Kristin’s pattern directions. This is a luxurious polyester that feels soft, unlike other commercial scrubby yarns made for dishes and pots. It truly is suitable for use on the body as an exfoliant sponge. I will be making the loofah scrubbi as well. They will make lovely spa gifts. I truly like this product and will order it again. Thank you, Kristin for your attention to creating quality products.

My mom sent me sent me this yarn for my birthday. Hands down the best ‘scrubby’ type yarn I’ve used. It doesn’t get caught on everything. Works up smoothly and even frogs well. Will be on the lookout for more colors.
