Red Heart Scrubby Sparkle Yarn Lemon 3-Pack — Self-Striping #4 Worsted, Quick-Dry Polyester with Subtle Sparkle

Red Heart Scrubby Sparkle Yarn in Lemon is a textured, self-striping polyester yarn designed for quick-dry dishcloths, scrubbies, and sparkly craft projects.

This three-pack of Lemon Scrubby Sparkle delivers a bright, lemon-yellow stripe effect in each #4 medium worsted ball, combining the familiar scrubby texture with a subtle glitter thread for eye-catching results. Made from 100% polyester, the yarn is durable, machine-washable, and formulated to dry quickly — ideal for kitchen and bath items that need to resist mildew and stand up to repeated use. Each ball contains 85 g (3 oz) and approximately 75 m (82 yds) of yarn, providing enough length to make several small scrubbies or one or two dishcloths per ball depending on pattern size.

What makes Scrubby Sparkle different from ordinary yarn?

Scrubby Sparkle pairs the coarse, porous texture that helps clean surfaces with a glitter accent that adds visual appeal. Because it’s polyester, the yarn naturally dries faster than many natural fibres and resists stretching out of shape when wet. The self-striping colorway creates seamless stripes without needing to switch balls, simplifying multi-colour projects.

• 100% polyester construction for fast drying and durability
• Self-striping Lemon colorway — no colour changes needed
• Sparkle thread woven through for subtle shimmer
• Textured fibre designed for scrubbing and absorbing suds

Which projects are best suited to Scrubby Sparkle Lemon?

How should I care for items made with Scrubby Sparkle?

Care is simple and forgiving because the yarn is fully polyester: machine wash and tumble dry on low or as the pattern recommends. Avoid high heat or prolonged exposure to strong abrasives to preserve the sparkle thread and overall texture.

• Machine wash on gentle or normal cycles
• Tumble dry low to maintain texture and shimmer
• Do not bleach; avoids harsh chemical damage
• Store dry to prevent mildew and preserve shape
