I try very hard live green, we use biodegradable trash bags, we use cloth napkins and do not buy paper towels. We use compact florescent light bulbs and recycle all we can. About a month ago, my bag of cotton balls was nearing its end, and I wanted to create something, I could use like a cotton ball and not buy anymore. So I created this cotton puff, it is made with cotton yarn, fits on my finger and I can wash it in the washing machine. I think it works better than a cotton ball, it is much more cheery than a plain white cotton ball and for me it exfoliates too.
It is a quick pattern, easy practice increasing and decreasing. This is worked in rounds with no joining.
Peaches n’ Cream, Cotton yarn, Fiesta is the color in my picture.
