I've been on a quest to crochet the perfect bath puff. The 100% cotton ones seem too heavy and fade more with every wash. And the nylon ones from the store are too rough and fall apart quickly!
So ...
(( Drum roll please ))
A 50% cotton, 50% acrylic blend works perfectly. BUT, so does a 100% acrylic yarn. It's still soft but tough enough to scrub your skin without hurting. It's perfect!
This bath puff is made with 100% acrylic yarn.
This bath loofa / bath puff is machine washable and dryable. It will last much longer than the nylon ones. This 50/50 blend will not shrink and it will keep the color bright.
