what's your favorite lathering accessory?

Knitting (or crocheting) washcloths is a wonderful thing to do while you're waiting for fats to melt, then while lye and oils are cooling (then sitting in front of your curing soaps, watching them and waiting for that "ready to use" date). I just knit a couple of rows at a time. It might take a week to finish a cloth, but I'm in no hurry. And my kids LOVE having their own color-coded, Mommy-made cloths.

So it sounds like the poufs are pretty popular - I'm going to have to try one of those. Thanks y'all!

i've never knitted. used to crochet a loooong time ago, nothing serious.

which is easier knitting or crocheting? i have been interested in this lately.
and once you make it does it shrink in the dryer? does it wash well. can ya tell i really know nothing about yarn. i would like to make natural cloths that have natural dyes in them.

those washcloths look so great, i love the xmas tree.

I've only knit, so I don't know which is easier. I find knitting to be pretty simple once you learn how to do it, but if you've already crocheted before, that would probably be easier for you. The cloths I've used wash really well, and they get softer with each washing. They may shrink a little, but they stretch back out when you use them.
