You guys are so inspirational! Here are some bath poufs & face cloths that I'm going to sell off my cart. It also gives me something to do during the day when people aren't there, although we all know that I just won't have time to catch my breath..... :wink:

Lindy, oh my god!! They are so great. I had never thought of handmaking poufs and face cloths, they will go so well with your soaps. :)

Thank you, for inspiring me

Now I had already seen how I can knit/crochet facecloths from this forum but, wow!, never thought of bath poufs too!!! They are so pretty and cute!

Tanya :)

BTW - your customers will know your soap is definitely handmade when they see these gorgeous washers there too.

People respond very well to those. I have purchased mini face clothes wholesale a few times & included them as free gifts w/ online orders & they are very well received.

Very nice! And you're right, that will help to pass the time while you're working your booth! :)

Lindy those are fab :shock:
What a great idea to keep your hands busy whilst working your stall. I know I'd buy one of the poofs (lol, we call em scrubbies, poofs are entirely different :wink: )
Any chance of a tutorial :?:

Stuck in my head
I love those bath poufs - would you mind sharing the directions? How neat.
I make the wash cloths too. I'll have to finish the one I'm working on and post a pic of that. It's a little different than yours, but it's also done with double crochet stitches like yours is. :)

Love the poufs! I haven't looked to see if the tut is there yet, but I can't wait to try them!
I just started crochet with yarn. I have always crocheted with thread. It is so much fun to it with yarn and goes sooo much faster.

Thanks Jubean - the yarn I used is cotton and it's what is usually recommended for face cloths & dish cloths.

The pouf feel wonderful, they're a little heavier than what I'm used to with the other poufs and they take a really long time to dry. So the jury is out on how much I personally like using them - my mom doesn't like it because it is so much heavier/bulkier in her hand (she has little hands). The face cloths however are a totally different story - love them to death...

Those are AWESOME Lindy! We went camping this weekend and I spent a lot of time in the campsite knitting washcloths ;-) I never knew you could use yarn for a pouf (scrubbie) though! How creative!

Linda, Do you think there might be a bacteria issue because it dries so slowly.

I guess you couldn't keep it in the shower as we do with typical poufs.


Well then customers would have to buy a few from you so they could have one in the wash and one ready to shower.
