Red Heart Scrubby Stripes Yarn for Dishcloths & Scrubbers, Glacier 3-Pack — Quick-Dry 100% Polyester, Worsted #4

If you want durable, colourful dishcloths or bath scrubbies without swapping skeins, this Red Heart Scrubby Stripes pack gives you vibrant stripes and the familiar textured scrubby surface in one convenient ball. Made from 100% polyester, the yarn dries quickly and is machine washable, making it practical for kitchen and bathroom use. Each 85g (3oz) ball yields about 75m (82yds) of #4 Medium Worsted gauge yarn, so you can plan projects with standard knitting and crochet gauges.

How will Scrubby Stripes hold up to everyday dishwashing?

Scrubby Stripes is engineered for repeated wet use and fast drying because it’s 100% polyester—resistant to water saturation compared with natural fibres. Its textured scrubby construction scrubs without needing an added abrasive, and it tolerates machine washing and tumble drying for easy care.

• Material: 100% polyester for quick-dry performance
• Care: machine wash and tumble dry safe
• Texture: built-in scrubby surface suitable for light to medium cleaning
• Durability: stands up to repeated washing and use

What project sizes and tools work best with this yarn?

Scrubby Stripes is #4 Medium Worsted weight, so it pairs with common knitting and crochet tools used for dishcloths and household accessories. Use the published gauges to estimate how many stitches and rows you'll need for a typical 4" x 4" swatch and scale up for full cloths or scrubbers.

• Knitting gauge: 16 sts and 21 rows = 4" x 4" with 5 mm needles
• Crochet gauge: 13 sc and 15 rows = 4" x 4" with 5.5 mm hook
• Ball weight/length: 85g (3oz) and about 75m (82yds) per ball
• Self-striping: creates stripes without changing balls

Can I use Scrubby Stripes for projects beyond dishcloths?

Yes—while designed for scrubby cloths, the yarn’s texture and durability make it suitable for small household items and accent trims where a firm, textured fabric is wanted. Because it’s polyester, it’s not ideal for garments worn next to sensitive skin but works well for bath mitts, pot holders, and decorative kitchen accessories.

• Great for flannels, bath mitts, pot holders, and scrubbers
• Not recommended for delicate next-to-skin garments
• Excellent for colourful stripes and practical household pieces
• Works with standard worsted-weight patterns with minor tension checks

How many projects can I make from this 3-pack?

The Glacier 3-pack contains three self-striping balls; project yield depends on size and stitch density. For example, a typical 8" x 8" dishcloth uses roughly one ball or less depending on stitch pattern, so the 3-pack can supply several cloths or a mix of cloths and small scrubbies.

• 3 balls per pack, each 85g (3oz) / ~82 yds
• Estimate: one ball per standard 8" dishcloth, depending on stitch
• Good for making sets of dishcloths, scrubbers, or mixed accessories
• Self-striping pattern saves time and colour changes

Who is this for? Red Heart Scrubby Stripes in Glacier is aimed at knitters and crocheters looking for an easy, low-maintenance yarn to create colourful, functional kitchen and bathroom items. It’s ideal for makers who value quick-dry, machine-washable materials and prefer self-striping convenience for a polished, multi-coloured look without managing multiple skeins.
