What Yarn To Use For Face Scrubbies
The best yarn for crochet scrubbies is 100% cotton yarn, it can be worsted weight cotton (10ply) or DK light worsted (8ply) yarn.
This is because cotton is soft and gentle on the skin, and it can withstand frequent washing.
Amount Of Yarn Needed For Face Scrubbies
The amount of yarn needed for making a reusable cotton crochet face scrubby will vary depending on the pattern's design.
For example, this flower face scrubbies pattern uses about 9 yards (8.3 meters) of yarn for each scrubby, and this pattern for a puff stitch scrubbie uses about 25 yards (22.8 meters) of yarn for each scrubby.
How Big Should A Crochet Face Scrubby Be?
The size of a crochet face scrubby can vary depending on personal preference, but most will be around 3 - 4 inches in diameter.
How To Wash Reusable Face Scrubbies?
Washing reusable face scrubbies is easy, and here is a general guide on how to wash reusable face scrubbies:
Hand Washing - After every use is the quickest and easiest way to take care of crocheted face scrubbies.
To handwash as a face scrubby, rinse it well under warm water with a little soap to remove excess makeup or residue.
Machine Washing - If you prefer to machine wash the scrubbies, rinse them after use, then place them inside a mesh bag before putting them into the washing machine, and wash them in a gentle or delicate cycle.
Drying - After washing, be sure to remove any excess moisture and lay them flat to air dry.
Store the clean and dry scrubbies in a clean and dry container for a resealable bag for use next time.

Frequently Asked Questions
Crochet face scrubbies can help with skincare. They gently clean, exfoliate, and remove makeup. They are eco-friendly because you can reuse them. Just be sure to wash them regularly to avoid skin problems.
The best stitch for crochet face scrubbies is typically single crochet (sc). It has a tight and sturdy texture that is good for gently exfoliating and cleaning the skin without being too rough.
You can also use half-double crochet (hdc) or moss stitch for a slightly different texture. Ultimately, it's a matter of personal preference, but many people find the single crochet stitch to be the most effective stitch for face scrubbies.
