Nylon Tulle Bath Puff
by Priscilla Hewitt ©2000
Faster drying than cotton, these bath puffs are a little rougher...good for
sloughing winter skin!
Materials:
2 yards nylon tulle cut into 3/4” strips (see note)
Crochet hook size K
Note: I used the tulle that comes on a cardboard tube. It’s 6” wide x 25 yards long, so there's only 4 strips that need to be tied together. (It’s usually found in the bridal department of craft stores.) I marked eight 3/4” strips (7 cut lines) and cut them with a utility knife while the tulle was still on the tube. One of these rolls of tulle is enough to complete 2 bath puffs. You can also use tulle bought by the yard, then folded evenly and cut into strips. Tie the strips together with a knot...the slit-joining method used for fabric doesn’t work for tulle because it tears easily.
Tie the tulle strips together and roll into a ball (or work off the tube.)
