Can someone tell me what worsted weight cotton yarn is? I can’t seem to find it! thanks for any help!

Here is the best place to learn about yarn weights in a nutshell:
http://www.yarnstandards.com/weight.html
Example of worsted wt.cotton yarn are:
Peaches & Creme
Lion Brand
Sugar ‘n Cream
These are a medium wt.yarn made from cotton.
This list is not a complete list of such yarns available, but is a good starting point. Most of them can be found in sores such as Wal-Mart, Michaels, JoAnn’s, Hancock’s and other fabric or craft stores.They can also be purchased from a variety of merchants who sell craft/yarn supplies by catalog or the internet.

I’m looking for the pattern for the towels that are sewn and then coated with something. They are just made from cut up towels and then are surged and coated. I would like to know what they are coated with so I can make my own. If anyone could help I would appreciate it!

I am looking for the same pattern as Nicole and would very much like to make my own as well. My sister has one of these cloths and together we can’t figure out what they are coated in. Anyone with this info?
November 3, 2007 at 9:17 pm
I have never heard of coating towels with anything.

Love that I found this site. We want to make some scrubbers for Christmas gifts. Do you ever make any with nylon netting? Thank you.

Has anyone a pattern or directions for knitting strips of netting fabric, like you use in a wedding gown, into tough scrubbies? I have seen them and two craft fairs and would like to know how it is done.

I am looking for the pattern/instructions for making a dishwashing puff. They are made from netting cut in circles and tied together in a pom pom fashion. They resemble a body poof and are great for kids learning to wash dishes. They cannot be hard to make. Any ideas as to where to find the instructions?

Hi,
I have seen instructions for these somewhere, but am not sure where it is.
I will be working on this blog in my free time this week. If I find what you are looking for, I will let you know.

does any one have the pattern or direction for these nylon netting scrubbie/ Please reply?

If you are interested in knitting them I can give you a very simple pattern to do so. I have knitted these for years and now add a knitted piece of cotton yarn to the back that really makes a good scrubbie. The net is cut into 3 inch strips from 72 inch wide nylon net. Make sure it is stiff an not the soft stuff. Using size 10 or 10 1/2 needles ( your preference) cast on 10 stitches,knit about 10 rows and bind off. It usually takes about 3 strips to make a scrubbie. The dishcloth side is size 7 needles and about 12-13 stitches and do the same. Garter stitch for as many rows as it takes to make about the same size piece as the net and bind off then slip stitch with a crochet hook around. To join the net just overlap the pieces 1/2 inch or so and continue to crochet, or when cutting the net as I just found on a site when cutting the strips, cut from the raw edge to within about an inch of the other edge and do not cut through. You then have one long continous strip to knit up. You can make them crocheted as well, but I didn’t have much success when trying to crochet the net, so I prefer to knit them. Hope this works for you. Linda
