OK...I know about using netting torn in strips along with cotton yarn to make scrubbies, but I'm looking for the "yarn" to do it? A while ago (a long while) I was given 3 round, poufy, scrubbies, that were hand crocheted. They weren't the netting but some kind of rough scratchy yarn stuff... (How's that for a description???)

Anyone got any idea where I can get some?

Ditto, what Cime showed you.

Also, my sister sent me a ball of yarn made from nettles that is used for
shower scrubbies. I imagine jute could be used for kitchen scrubbies.

Thanks for the website....so what is "taslin" exactly?? I also looked around the net a bit and found that some people are using plastic canvas yarn. I really like the idea of recycling netting bags though. Here is a site for recycling bags. http://www.myrecycledbags.com/2007/02/17/instructions-for-cutting-plastic-bags-creating-recycled-plastic-yarn/ I love it that she calls this stuff "plarn"

I had got mine at WALMART but that was last winter and it was nylon yarn very small skeins but only .25 cents. Good Luck.

not sure what makes up taslin. It is a very tough yarn --you cant break it and is really rough.
