"I really love the idea of this pompom wreath, although I've never made pom poms before. Has anyone tried the fork method?"

"I love these ornaments, especially the delicate brushstroke detail. And I love the pop of pink, it's such an unexpected color for a Christmas tree."

"This is such a cozy looking ornament. I love the idea of it. I'm thinking it would be a great way to recycle some old tired ornaments that has chipped paint or other blemishes. Cloth from favorite garments, a wedding dress, graduation gown, a baby blanket or nice new swatches would make really special ornaments. I think this is so simple that it would work for a craft with grandchildren too."

"This is really a beautiful wreath because of the flannel. I think this would be a wonderful wreath to make from some of my late father in law's flannel shirts. I would use other kinds of embellishments on the side of the wreath. So many different things could be used. Silk flowers, real pine cones, etc. My father in law got the nickname candy man because he passed out peppermint swirl candies to his grandchildren. The cellophane wrapped candies would be perfect in the dcor too."

When your favorite dishcloth or dish scrubber is just about done it can be heartbreaking. It was the perfect weight and thickness, and it was the only one that got dirty pots clean after making a messy meal. Don't bother trying to replicate it, but instead work up one of your own designs! Red Heart's Scrubby Yarn is the perfect texture, and a worsted weight yarn like this can withstand plenty of grease and scrubbing.

Cutting costs is exactly what will happen by making your own dishcloths, and you get the colors and design you really want. This yarn is more versatile than you would think, and I love to use it to work up shower scrubbies as well as dish scrubs. This yarn is great at exfoliating, so if you use a washcloth made with Scrubby Yarn on your face, you will be shocked at the results. A Clairsonic can run you over $100, while this yarn will only cost a few bucks! Your whole family will love these scrubbies, so try making them in everyone's favorite colors, or, better yet, their favorite animals. Nothing says "bath time" like a fun, animal-shaped washcloth. The possibilities really are endless with this yarn.

Because you will be using these scrubbies over and over again, you might be worried about bacteria build up. However, this yarn is machine washable, and because it is 100% polyester, it will dry quickly afterward. This is great because it eliminates the need for a dryer, which could ruin the shape of your scrubby. Perfect for so many different projects, Red Heart's Scrubby Yarn is a great addition to your yarn collection.
