I use S.O.S. scrubbies like they are going out of style. I love how they get all the gunk off my cast iron pans, but I don’t love that I use them once or twice and they’re done. It’s such a waste of money and so not environmentally-friendly. I’ve seen people knit with twine and I knew that the roughness of twine would make the perfect DIY scrubbie.
To make the twine scrubbie all you need is some knitting needles and twine. I used size 15 needles, but you could go with smaller needles if you want a tighter knit. I cast on 5 times and created 6 rows. The scrubbie will end up the size of a kitchen sponge.
I love the way the knit scrubbie looks and it’s a nice little money saver. It almost makes me want to do dishes. Almost.

Awesome idea! Love how it looks too.
Thanks Loura!
Wow Melanie! It’s beautiful! Do you imagine how great it would look on a brass soapholder?! I *think* this has gift potential. Now I need to find knitting needles.
Thank you! Yeah, it would look great on a brass (vintage) soap dish.
Ingenious. (and little trick I use for sos scrubs…stick in freezer immediately after each use, you’ll only use one each year)
That sounds super interesting. Do you still have soap on the scrubbies after all those uses?
