In this pattern I propose you crochet tawashi/scrubbies from jute from one piece of thread, no intermediate cuts and joinings!
Using natural jute or hemp for making these tawashi, you’re making them:

  • biodegradable
  • reusable
  • ecologically clean
  • safe for health and environment
  • exceptionally hygienic

The use of these items is wide: washing dishes, cleaning, personal care.

Keep tawashi hanging, because jute is very hygroscopic. Soak it in soda and water solution periodically with the following hand or machine washing.

In the pattern you can find the link to video tutorial of croocheting this tawashi.
