I posted a poll about a week and a half ago asking whether you’d prefer using a bath mitt, a washcloth, or a bath puff. I also emailed some friends asking for their input.
A bath mitt test swatch showing garter stitch, stockinette stitch, and a cross-over pattern in a worsted-weight organic cotton.
Here are the overall results (tallying votes on the website with emailed votes).
Bath mitt: 5 votes
Washcloth: 4 votes
Bath puff: 5 votes
So as you can see, there was no clear winner; it was pretty much a complete wash.1
It does make me feel better though, knowing that there isn’t one strong preference among women and therefore it would be pretty safe for me to design whichever one I thought would work best with a given yarn.
This 60% cotton, 40% acrylic ribbon yarn has a matte side and a shiny side. I'm going to try designing a bath puff with it.
Thanks again to everyone who participated in the poll, and look for my bath mitt, washcloth, and bath puff patterns in the coming weeks!
