Clean Corner to Corner with Red Heart's Scrubby yarns

Another free pattern Red Heart has up on their website is the Corner-to-Corner Scrubby. This is one of the Scrubby patterns that has a loop on the end of the dishcloth for easy hanging and drying ability. It’s the first pattern I’ve seen with the scrubby variegated colors, which are new.

This is the Corner-to-Corner Scrubby featured in the pattern on Red Heart's website. The color is Jelly!

This is the perfect beginners pattern. Anyone I teach to knit, I usually start them on a dishcloth. It’s a small square that won’t take too long and will actually be useful on a daily basis. A dishcloth is also something that most people are looking to make. The story that comes up most often is a family member or friend knit some dishcloths and they were the best dishcloths this person had ever used.

I really like this pattern because it isn’t your regular cast on X amount of stitches knit for X amount of inches and bind off. You start on the corner and increase, when you get to the middle, you start decreasing. It's knit as a diamond rather than a square and the hanger is fastened on at the end. Since the construction is a little unusual, I would make it a second project rather than a first.

I like the idea of knitting this scrubby in a solid color and finding the same color in cotton and pairing it with the Scrubby Sparkle. The cotton and Scrubby Sparkle, I would make longer so it was more of a dish towel than a dishcloth. I have one of these hanging from my stove right now and it's the most used towel in the kitchen. It’s so convenient to be right on the oven handle at hip height. I always walk by and rub my fingers on this particular towel.

You can see how the mix of Scrubby Yarns really change the color and texture of your scrubbies when they're knit up!

If you were to get Scrubby, Scrubby Sparkle and a cotton yarn all in the same color, there's no telling where the accessories would end! I'm a great fan of matching so I feel confident that should I ever find a cotton in the right color of orange, these dish cloths will dominate my kitchen. It's been fun to review the many possibilities of play using Red Heart's Scrubby and Scrubby Sparkle.

Red Heart's Scrubby yarn perfect for knitting facial scrubbies

With our efforts to make our earth 'greener' and use items that are earth friendly, knitting is becoming a skill we could all use. Bringing this together with Red Heart’s Scrubby makes for an extremely green initiative. I'm going to review the free pattern for a Simple Knit Dishcloth and put a new spin on it.

Photo from Red Heart website on the pattern Simple Knit Dishcloth

From the title you’ve probably guessed that we're talking about making a scrubby for your face. I'm actually looking to replace the small round pads we use for taking off makeup. The Simple Knit Dishcloth pattern is a perfect place to start for these. You’re going to want to mix a strand of cotton yarn and a strand of scrubby together so it's not too harsh on your face.

Two facial scrubbies with cotton and Scrubby Sparkle.

Depending on your preference, I would decrease the amount of stitches you’re casting on as well. I would say to cast on 8-10 in order to get the small size of the makeup pads. I know the makeup pads are round and this pattern is square, but let’s be honest, we all fold them in half to get a corner. Now there are four corners with no folding required.

This little scrubby was cast on with 8 stitches.

I would use the same needle size in order to get a thicker pad, a thinner one would be a little bit more difficult to control. Mind you, a thick or thin scrubby would be a perfect exfoliating cloth to use just before you put on your nighttime moisturizer.

The Clean in Stripes Dishcloth from the pattern on Red Heart's website

You could also use the pattern Clean in Stripes Dishcloth, instead of different colors of yarn, you could just alternate cotton and Scrubby or Scrubby Sparkle. It’s another fabulous pattern ready to be adapted to any situation including gift giving. These small scrubbies are an excellent add-on to a gift or gift card. It’s always nice to include a tangible object especially when you’re giving a gift card for makeup.

3 tips for mixing Scrubby Yarn with other yarns

With all the talk yesterday about spring cleaning, it made me think about the different types of scrubbies you can use; sometimes you want them big, small, thick, thin, soft or rough. With the myriad of different jobs we use these scrubbies for, it makes sense that we would knit them all differently. Here are 3 tips for mixing Scrubby and Scrubby Sparkle yarns for your cleaning purposes.

Just casting on one more!

Since we are covering Red Heart’s Scrubby and Scrubby Sparkle, I would suggest knitting with a strand of each to add a little bit of pizzazz to your dish cloths. If you don’t want to go full sparkle and just hold 1 strand of Scrubby Sparkle and one of Scrubby together. If you’re going to hold two strands together, stay with the recommended needle size of 5mm or US 8 and your cloth will be thicker.

Scrubby Sparkle held double in the color Blueberry

You can also pair a cotton yarn, like Crème de la Crème, with a strand of Scrubby. The cotton yarn will lend thickness and make the scrubby a bit softer than if you went with 100% Scrubby yarn. There would be ample opportunity to play around with pairing variegated cotton yarns with a solid strand of Scrubby. It would change the whole look of the cloth and a variegated touch, since Scrubby only comes in solid colors.

If you’ve delved into the world of double knitting at all, you could make a cloth that's cotton yarn on one side and scrubby yarn on the other. I'm actually really excited about this idea because those double sided sponges are my favorite.

Cotton yarn and Scrubby Sparkle held together.

When we're really attempting to make these cloths thicker or thinner, it’s all about gauge. If you use more strands, and keep the needle size, your cloth will be thicker. If you keep the same amount of strands but go up a needle size, your cloth will be thinner. If you keep the same amount of strands, but go down a needle size, your cloth will be thicker.

This is the perfect opportunity to play with gauge if you’re not quite sure how it works. Any chances to figure out this mystical monster known as gauge should not be passed by lightly.

These quick and easy projects are an excellent chance to hone your skills and try new things that might have been a bit intimidating to you. Try out double knitting, figure out what happens when you mix a variegated with a solid color, why not try holding a strand of Scrubby, Scrubby Sparkle and cotton together? Carpe diem.

4 tips for spring cleaning with Scrubby Yarn

It's March already and around this time of year I start thinking about...spring cleaning! I know it's more of a cliché, but I really do get the urge to de-clutter and clean everything in my house. All those salt stains and water marks winter has left behind, as well as getting the oven cleaned from heavy use in the winter and prepping the BBQ for the heavy use it's going to go through! Since we're going over Red Heart’s Scrubby and Scrubby Sparkle, I'm going to give you some spring cleaning tips involving knitted cloths.

I realized after I took the photo that the Scrubby dishcloth tied on looks like a super hero cape. For spring cleaning, I think it's appropriate.

With a heavy deep clean like this, more often than not, we're using harsher chemicals to clean stubborn stains and caked on grime. One thing you don’t want to do is use your dish cloth with an oven cleaner. I'm always weary about residual residue after I have washed everything; corrosive chemicals are not something you want anywhere near your dishes. Something I’ve implemented in my own home is to knit cleaning cloths in specific colors and knit dish cloths in other colors. I happen to knit dish cloths in orange and blue, because those just happen to be the colors in my kitchen (I know what you’re thinking, “orange and blue? Really?” but it totally works). That being said, cleaning cloths in these two colors are multipurpose and can be used on counters, microwaves, etc.

I knit anything that's used with harsh chemicals in a very dark color. I try for black, or dark purple/green/red; partly because then I don’t have to worry about staining and partly because dark colors just seem ominous to me. It’s a mental link carried over from analyzing historical texts. Dark colors usually mean something suspicious and nefarious is going to happen.

Scrubby in Grape and Black, looking nefarious as ever.

These dark cloths are also made out of 100% synthetic materials. Natural fibers, like cotton or bamboo, hold onto the things they come into contact a little more.

Think photosynthesis: plants absorb light and water, then use it to grow. If you’re just exposing these natural fibers to dish water, it won’t be the end of the world if there's some leftover dish soap in your cloth after a good washing.

I tend to think of synthetic fibers, such as polyester, as the bristles of a brush; hard cleaning power that repels dirt and grime.

A strand of classic Scrubby and Scrubby Sparkle side-by-side. They may look completely different, but they have both got immense cleaning power!

It might seem like common sense, but I'm going to make a point of it anyway. Don’t wash all your cloths together. I machine wash all my cleaning cloths because I want to get them as clean as possible. All these tips and tricks are useless if you throw all these cloths into one load of laundry; make sure you separate your dark cloths out. I throw my dish cloths in with my kitchen towels, but I always make sure to wash the dark cloths alone. I will even let them soak in a mixture of water, blue dawn dish soap and hydrogen peroxide first.

A good soak makes for a clean and sterile cloth.

I have one last tip for cleaning aficionados everywhere and that has to do with the Red Heart pattern for the Fish Time Scrubbing Mitt. This is an excellent cleaning device with a lot of applications.

My personal favorite for this mitt is cleaning window blinds. There are a great deal of windows in my house and all, except one are covered with blinds. If you don’t put your fingers all the way to the end of the slat, you're able to make an opening between your fingers and thumb (think sock puppet). You can wipe down your blinds with a cloth that stays over your fingers.

If you’re looking to make something that's going to be blinds specific, you can knit two small versions of this mitt and slip the mitt over the ends of tongs. Then attach them to the ends with an elastic.

It may look a bit like Pac-Man, but this is what I mean by "think sock puppet." One slat from your blinds fits right in that little crevice.

I hope these four tips get you onto your spring cleaning with gusto, or at the very least, make you want to start knitting the cleaning cloths you’re going to be using. It’s a long process and it has to start somewhere so why shouldn’t it start with making some affordable and fun dish and cleaning cloths.

New yarn: Red Heart's Scrubby Sparkle

We covered Red Heart’s Scrubby for one fun week last year in May, but Red Heart has gone and made it better. I’m so pleased to have a chance to play with their new edition of the Scrubby yarn, Scrubby Sparkle, and give you a sneak preview of this very fun yarn!

Scrubby Sparkle in Grape, Blueberry and Avocado

It’s still the Scrubby yarn you love, and we wrote about, but with a bit more sparkle added in. Not to mention that classic Scrubby is now available in variegated colours! This is fantastic news to dishcloth knitters everywhere because, needless to say, dishcloths get dirty! Variegated patterns also hide that dirt a bit better than a solid color. Check out the patterns we posted for Scrubby yarn last year: exfoliating soap pouch, chevron double thick dishcloth and heart and star stuffies.

Our Chevron Double Thick Dishcloth from last year's articles!

Now that we’ve covered the classic Scrubby, we can talk about the newest addition to the scrubby family; Sparkle! The construction is a little different, the strand is a spikier looking with strands of a translucent fiber and fibers the color of the yarn. Where classic scrubby is more irregular, this fiber is more consistent creating an even surface. It is also a little bit less course than regular Scrubby. The fibers, while more regular, are also a little thinner. As a result this scrubby is less course, which makes it ideal for using it in the shower. Exfoliation is good, but Scrubby Sparkle is a good alternative for those seeking a milder treatment.

A close up on Scrubby Sparkle fiber construction.

Scrubby Sparkle is 100% polyester, the same as Scrubby, and machine washable! I posit that dishcloths are one of the absolute best hand knit gifts you could make someone. Machine washable makes it that much better, plus I don’t think it makes sense to knit a dishcloth out of something that needs to be washed carefully. Scrubby Sparkle is definitely hearty enough to be put in the washer and drier even though it looks delicate and pretty.

You can really see the sparkle from this angle.

This week we're going to go back to Scrubby yarn, explore Scrubby Sparkle and look at patterns together. Scrubby is so unique, it’s one of my favorite yarns we have reviewed here. I'm elated to be revisiting it and I can’t wait to see how this new yarn: Red Heart's Scrubby Sparkle, will knit up.

Knit a phone cozy with pizzazz

What could be more fun to knit with some great cotton yarn that's been glitzed up? I thought a phone cozy would be a simple project and with one skein, you could make matching cozies for tablets, ebook readers, laptops, etc. Universal Yarn thought of it all when it added sequins and shaped sequins to its Cotton Supreme line, which comes in 8 charming colors.

Cotton Supreme Sequin Shapes

Sweetie color of Cotton Supreme Sequin Shapes

The sequins are spaced a variety of distances apart, mostly between 7 and 12 cm gaps. For this Sweetie color, there are 10 different colors of sequins, and the same is true for 3 other colors. Then there are a linen and oatmeal colors and they both have gold only sequin shapes. Finally there's a pink with fuschia sequins and a green with green sequins. The sequins are threaded on an extremely thin thread that is plied together with the other standard 4 plies of Cotton Supreme yarn and are all shaped like little flowers.

Phone cozy

To knit this cozy, I used 3.25mm needles...really small so that the resulting fabric would be tight and protective. I used Judy's magic cast on to work in the round with the magic loop method of circular knitting and then without any shaping, I just knit a little tube. At the end I used half the stitches and some decreases to fashion a little button flap. I still haven't found just the right glitzy button to hold it closed.

I hope this gives you an idea of an easy fun project to knit with Universal Yarn's Cotton Supreme in the Shaped Sequins variety.

Knitting with space-dyed yarns

I personally am thrilled with the variety of approaches Universal Yarn Inc. took to develop different colorways and dye methods with their Cotton Supreme worsted weight yarn. Here's a look at their Batik line with 24 colorways (scroll down).

Cotton Supreme Batik

Most of these colorways involve 2 main colors that appear in about equal amounts and for equal lengths. Then some of the colorways have 2 additional colors and some only have 1. These contrasting colors have shorter dyed segments, and some have small dots painted on them which gives a fairisle effect or a polk-a-dot effect when they are knitted.

Knitting with space-dyed yarns

The length of each segment of each color is usually fairly regular when it comes to space-dyed yarns. It's quite interesting to unwind the yarn and see just how much each segment is. This can help you plan how you want the stripes to appear....or at least you'll be able to predict a little bit.

For the colorway Beach Umbrella (pictured above) the red and the teal are the dominant colors and the russet is the color which appears over shorter lengths of the yarn. I unwound the yarn and measured and found that there was a meter of each the red and the teal, and about 40 centimeters of the russet in between each of the other two colors. When the russet sort of blended with the teal or red in a more muddied color, I included that measurement with the brighter, clearer orange.

After swatching, I calculated for one of the longer color segments that it took about 29 sts and 14 rows in stockinette (at a gauge of 5 sts and 7 rows per 2.5cm) to use up 1 meter of the yarn and the stripe measured 5.5cm, so that way I was able to determine how wide the stripes would be once I knit up a project.

For example, if I knit across 92 sts, I would use about 4.5 rows to use up one color so the color changes would happen mid row. Because this yarn has speckled transitions, it would not look like a solid jog in the color stripes though. For the russet color, I would only get about 1 and ¾ rows , so it would be quite a narrow stripe. 92 sts, by the way, would be the width of the back of a size Small sweater with no ease. This means that for any size large than a Small, I would probably have incomplete stripes of the russet.

Regardless, I only had one skein of Cotton Supreme Batik, so I decided to make something narrower, a scarf.

Cotton Supreme Batik in a scarf

I couldn't settle on a straight scarf. Not me! I always have to do something interesting that keeps me engaged in knitting, and to make sure I finish something.

For this scarf I tried short rows using the German technique. It has become my ultimate favorite way to work shorts rows...it's easy and the results are amazing...very smooth transitions and usually invisible. Remember that cotton usually shows EVERYTHING, but look at this closeup and tell me if you can see the short row turning points.

Close up of German short rows

On the far right, in the red, you can see what looks like purl bumps next to the garter stitch ridge. Those are wrap and turn short rows without lifting the wraps. In the left orange section next to the orange garter stitch ridge there are German short rows...can't see them, right? In the teal section there are wrap and turn short rows with the wraps lifted and hidden, but you can still see slight stretching and tugging. So my lesson learned is to use German short rows for SURE when knitting with cotton.

To work a German short row, you knit or purl to the point where you need to turn and leave the remaining stitches unworked, and turn. Then you bring the yarn forward and slip the first st from the left needle purlwise, then you wrap the yarn around the right needle close to the first st on the RIGHT needle counter clockwise...that is over the top of the needle and around to the back (not between the right and left needles). Then you tug the yarn snug and continue in the pattern across. If the next stitch is a knit, the yarn is already at the back of the work, if the next stitch is a purl, you have to bring the yarn forward first.

This counter-clockwise wrap creates what's called either a "double-stitch" or a "hitched stitch". It looks like a 4-legged stitch with 2 on the front of the needle and 2 on the back. When it's time to work across all stitches and work off the short rows, you simply either knit or purl as necessary between the 4 legs of the hitched stitch, ensuring 2 legs are to the back and 2 to the front of the right needle as you knit or purl the stitch off the left needle.

Short row tips for mitts or toes

Another thing I tried with this space-dyed Cotton Supreme was to make finger tips or toe tips for mitts and socks. I know most people wouldn't choose a worsted weight cotton for mittens, but for kids with eczema or other skin sensitivities, cotton mittens lined with polar fleece are a great solution for warmth and softness. The self-striping colors of Cotton Supreme Batik would be a fun and easy way to knit for kids.

And cotton socks...well, not likely out of worsted weight, but they would make great bed-socks or wheel-chair slippers for the elderly.

I hope that through this tour of Cotton Supreme yarn, you've seen that there are many possibilities and dishcloths aren't the only thing that can be made with worsted weight cotton. Tomorrow we'll look at one last variation on this theme.

Make a splash with Cotton Supreme Yarn

This is one of the variations on a theme that Universal Yarn Inc. has developed with their soft and light Cotton Supreme worsted weight yarn.

It's a tonal application of dye that is painted onto the yarn after it has been spun. Once knit up, it produces a beautiful speckled look as each segment of painted yarn when worked up covers between 1 and 2 stitches in stockinette.

Cotton Supreme Splash

I decided to knit with the Beach colorway pictured above. It consists of an eggshell white base, and the painted speckles are a pale bubblegum pink, a light taupe-like grey, and a pale camel beige. It reminds me of the the pebbles made of granite on the shores of Lake Superior.

Cotton Supreme Splash in Beach (#201) colorway

I could have made a little girl's dress from this...it was so feminine and soft in nature, but I only had one skein, so instead I decided to knit a slouchy tam.

Slouchy tam

This yarn was perfect for a slouchy hat because it has a lot of drape and it truly slouches on the wearer's head. It doesn't really suit my complexion or personal style, so I didn't take a selfie with it on, but it looked really good on several friends.

Lessons Learned

The first thing to note, is cotton generally has no elasticity, and for this tam to stay on the wearer's head, I'll have to weave elastic thread between the ribbing stitches. I also thought I may frog back to the beginning of the ribbing and use clear elastic thread and hold it together with the Cotton Supreme and knit a twisted rib instead of the regular K1, P1 version.

Close up of tam

The second thing I learned from this project was that no two increases are alike. I tried KFB, M1L, Yo increases and none of them had a neat closed appearance. They all left slight gaps. Now if you wanted a lace-like look that would be great, but I was aiming for a tighter-looking appearance. In the end I settle with the lifted stitch increase, which gave it a neat and tidy line.

Close-up of Cotton Supreme Splash

Another positive quality of this cotton, is that even though it isn't elastic, it does block well. You can see that my stockinette stitch is very even. Sometimes, purl rows are a little looser for me, and even in the round, sometimes there's just that slight shift in my tension. Most cottons make those differences really show, but Cotton Supreme blocks well and as you can see, the stitches are quite even.

Tomorrow, we'll explore another type of dying approach used on Cotton Supreme.

Knitting for kids with Cotton Supreme yarn

I'm probably dating myself, but do you remember when blue jeans were stitched with this coppery orange thread? Was that the '70s and '80s? None of my jeans now seem to have that look.

So I decided after looking at the 48 colors of Cotton Supreme by Universal Yarn, that I would take their 'denimy' blue and the copper and knit a little kid's sweater reminiscent of those blue jeans from my childhood.

Close up of kid's sweater

I didn't want the child's sweater to look like jeans though, so I worked in a bit of garter stitch and a mostly stockinette in this soft and comfy yarn. I didn't work with the DK weight of Cotton Supreme this time, but there are some free patterns if you'd like to see one or two other possibilities for this cotton yarn at a finer weight. It would be great for crochet as well as it's finer and wouldn't be as bulky.

I used the worsted weight and for this size 12-18 month top, it took 1 full hank of the blue and a few meters of the copper accent color.

Child's knit cotton sweater

The copper color of the Cotton Supreme isn't quite as orange as it looks in the picture. That has something to do with my camera and the lighting. It's much more of an ochre or terracotta tone to it.

This sweater is knit in the round from the bottom up to the armholes. Then I divided the stitches for front and back and cast on stitches on both sides for the sleeves and then just worked across both sleeves and upper body till I had the depth of the armholes done. There are 3 seams, 2 for the underarm, and then one for the upper sleeve/shoulder seam.

If I were to knit this easy child's sweater again, I would probably use a provisional cast on for the sleeves and graft the under sleeve and then not cast off on top but graft that section together as well. But not all beginners would be happy learning to graft and then to have all those stitches to seam together with the Kitchener stitch.

Easy child's sweater

When I got part way up the front sleeves and upper torso, I divided the stitches onto two needles and continued separately to provide a slight neck opening. I like the casual look, so this could be left open and the flaps would fold down like 2 little lapels, but it would be easy enough to crochet on a button loop and sew on a button or two.

I don't have any grandchildren yet (and sons...you get through post-sec studies before you think of making me a grandfather), so I may hold onto this little top or gift it to the next friend who has a baby. It took me about 6 hours to knit it, and I'm not the speediest of knitters. But It was a perfect project for knit-night.

Knitting for kids with Cotton Supreme is probably one of the best uses this yarn could be put to. It's very soft and even the worsted weight yields a nice light fabric. In the next few days, we'll look at some other projects you could make with this 100% cotton yarn. The Universal Yarn website has some other kids' patterns for this yarn. And, for those of you who like to make a little something for Easter, here is a cute egg pattern to knit with Cotton Supreme.

Introducing a soft 100% worsted weight cotton yarn

Cotton Supreme Solids by Universal Yarn Inc.

For the last few weeks I've been swatching and designing with Cotton Supreme, a yarn by Universal Yarn Inc. that's 100% soft cotton. I'll be sharing some insights on this yarn and a few ideas for items that you could knit with this squishy cotton yarn.

This yarn comes in hanks of 100g that you'll need to wind into balls at home to knit with it. Cotton Supreme is a worsted weight yarn or Medium #4 according to the Craft Yarn Council. Each hank has approximately 180 yards [165 meters]. There are no other fiber types blended with this yarn, so it retains cotton's best characteristics for knitting: strength, endurance, and drape. Cotton supreme is not mercerized so it has low to no sheen. It also has almost zero elasticity, which also means that it won't shrink.

Strand of Cotton Supreme

If you study the picture above, you'll see that Cotton Supreme is constructed of 4 singles plies that each have a light twist. There's a twist factor of 2.5 twists per inch when all 4 plies are spun together with an S-twist. This structure is very sturdy and I couldn't break the yarn by hand because it was too strong.

Cotton Supreme swatches

I knit these two stockinette swatches with US7 [4.5mm] needles and got a gauge of 4.25 sts per inch, very close to the label's recommended 20 sts per 4" on US7 - 8 [4.5 - 5.5mm] needles. The left swatch above is hot off the needles. The one on the right has been through 2 loads of laundry with the hottest water setting and in the dryer as well. The gauge did not change one bit, not even the row gauge, which sometimes happens with cotton. The washing did cause the short ends of cotton fibers to poke out a bit, which gave the fabric a lovely soft bloom. You can see the bloom in the picture of the untwisted yarn above as well.

Cotton Supreme comes in 48 solids, 24 multi-colored varieties that are spaced-dyed, 9 solids with round sequins, and 8 solids with shaped sequins. There's also another version of tonal spatter-dyed Cotton Supreme called Splash that comes in 7 colorways.

Cotton Supreme DK is also available with 230 yards per 100g and in 24 solid colors.

Close up of Cotton Supreme

The resulting fabric made of Cotton Supreme is soft, pliable, and has a lovely feel. And although I would make a dishcloth or two from remnants of this yarn, it's so much nicer than your typical kitchen cotton variety. It would be lovely as a washcloth for a gift set with some nice handmade soap. More importantly to those allergic to animal fibers, Cotton Supreme is lovely for garments, and I even made a baby sweater out of it, but I share more about this later this week, stay tuned.

Close up of washed swatch knit with Cotton Supreme by Universal Yarns

I knit these swatches with metal needles, so the stitches slipped back and forth easily without resisting. My bamboo needles are so old (more than 20 years) that they have a patina on them that is kind of gross, so I don't knit with them much any more, but I tried briefly with them and really didn't like how sticky they were for this yarn, so I quickly went back to metal. In the above swatch, you can see the slight fuzz that formed after washing it. Even though over all this yarn has no sheen, the little that it has from how the yarn is spun is still visible through the fuzz, which to me shows it's a quality cotton staple that is used from the onset.

In the next few days, I'll share some projects I made with this yarn and give you a few ideas of what else you could make with Cotton Supreme.
