Why choose Rico Creative Bubble?
  • Purpose-Made Sponge Yarn: Creative Bubble is a 100% polyester scrubby yarn, 90 m per 50 g ball, that Rico developed specifically for crocheted and knitted dish sponges and bath scrubbers. Its crisp, eyelash-like fibers do the scrubbing.
  • Hook and Gauge: Rico recommends a 4 mm crochet hook (or 2 mm knitting needles) and a crochet gauge of 20 stitches by 22 rows per 10 cm. The fibers blur stitches, so count by feel and mark the first stitch.
  • Washes at 60 °C: Finished sponges go in the washing machine at 60 °C and are ready to reuse; skip the tumble dryer and iron. Rico rates one ball at about two sponges, and the yarn carries OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certification.
Description

Rico Creative Bubble – The Yarn That Turns Into Sponges

Rico Creative Bubble is a textured 100% polyester sponge yarn (50 g / 90 m) made for crocheting washable kitchen sponges, dishcloths, bath scrubbies and reusable make-up pads. Its bubbly structure gives finished pieces a natural scrubbing texture, and everything survives the washing machine at 60 °C — so your handmade sponges stay fresh and hygienic for months instead of days. One ball is enough for about two sponges.

💡 Mix & Match: Want a whole palette in one box? The Earthy, Pastel and Rainbow Creative Bubble Kits bundle 10 coordinated balls each.

Why choose this sponge yarn?

  • Hygienic by Design: Unlike shop-bought sponges, crocheted Creative Bubble sponges go straight into the washing machine at 60 °C and come out like new — a simple zero-waste swap for the kitchen and bathroom.
  • A First Project That Works: A basic sponge needs only simple stitches and works up in under an hour, which makes this a favourite beginner and children's crafting yarn.
  • Texture That Lasts: The airy, bubbly strand keeps its scrubbing structure wash after wash, dries quickly and won't smell the way cellulose sponges do.

TIPS & TRICKS

Pattern Tip: Rico's free sponge pattern uses a 4 mm hook and a waffle grid: chain 24, work a row of double crochet, then alternate blocks of four front-post and four back-post double crochet, swapping them every two rows. Stop at about 12 cm square and add a 12-chain hanging loop.

Reviews about Rico Creative Bubble

Heli V.
mõnus heegeldada, olen mõnele tuttavale kinkinud pesukinda, ütlevad, et hea pesta. Ise pesen sellest lõngast heegeldatud käsnaga nõusid, olen samuti rahul. Kannatas ka masinas 60 kraadiga pesemist.

Trevligt garn som är enklt att virka med. Liten fråga... Varför Creative Bubble melerat är så mycket dyrare än Creative Bubble enfärgat är?

About Product

Is Rico Creative Bubble better than cotton for dishcloths?

They do different jobs: Rico Creative Bubble is a scrubbing yarn, while cotton is the absorbent one for wiping. The 100% polyester strand has a bubbly surface that lifts stuck-on food and dries quickly, but it soaks up little water. Many makers combine the two, using a cotton such as YarnArt Creative for the cloth and Creative Bubble for a scrubbing side.

How many balls of Rico Creative Bubble do I need for a dishcloth?

Plan on about two balls for a 24 cm square dishcloth. One 90 m ball makes roughly two sponges of about 12 cm square, so around 45 m per sponge. A 24 cm square has four times that area, which comes to roughly 180 m, or two balls; add a third if you crochet loosely or want a contrast border.

What is the difference between Rico Creative Bubble and Creative Bubble Print?

They are the same 100% polyester sponge yarn, 90 m per 50 g ball, worked at the same gauge; the difference is colour. Creative Bubble comes in 32 solid shades, while Rico Creative Bubble Print changes colour along the strand and stripes on its own. Solids suit colour-coded sets and shaped motifs; Print suits plain sponges that should look patterned.

How do I weave in ends on Rico Creative Bubble so they stay put?

Leave a tail of at least 10 cm and weave it with a blunt needle through the back of several stitches, changing direction at least once. Polyester is slippery, and sponges get squeezed daily and machine washed at 60 °C, so short tails tend to work loose. The bubbly texture hides woven ends well, so there is no downside to weaving them in generously.
