WASHCLOTH

  • 1 skein of Habu Textile’s Cork Chenille, 100% cotton. Each skein is 99 yards/ 28 grams; approximately 50 yards required. I made one washcloth with the color Bleached White and one with Off White.
  • US 3 (3.25 mm) straight or circular needles

SCRUBBING MITT

  • 1 skein of Habu Textile’s Cork Chenille, 100% cotton. Each skein is 99 yards/ 28 grams; approximately 70 yards required. I used the color Charcoal.
  • A set of US 3 (3.25 mm) double pointed needles

NOTE: Each washcloth and the scrubbing mitt use a bit more than half a ball of Cork Chenille. However, like most yarn companies, Habu’s yardage (and weight) is somewhat approximate, so there may be instances when you can eek out two 7¾ x 7¾ inch washcloths with one ball. To be on the safe side you may consider casting on 40-43 stitches instead of 46. Or, another option, knit up the washcloths and scrubbing mitt as written and then use the remainders to make some striped or colorblocked variations!
