Harmony, I haven't had that problem with the scrubbies I've been making but I actually only use one for a month or so because they get so nasty brown from scrubbing my cast iron pans every night. Sanitizing with soap and boiling water will get them cleaner but that also makes them softer so they don't scrub as well. It's like a small gift to myself to grab a new clean scrubbie on the first of the month.
I have a different scrubbie pattern to try. One of my errands yesterday was to pick up a new crochet hook because it calls for size N 10mm and I know I've never had one of those. I had a 50% coupon, too, which made it only cost $1.59.
This pattern doesn't use the nylon netting strips, it uses 6" wide tulle which I ordered online in a pack of 8 colors.
If I end up liking this pattern, I will order the tulle online again because it was quite a lot more expensive at the local store. I just checked, at A river I paid less than $13 for the bundle of 8 but the local J store only had single colors for $4.99 each. They looked like the same thing, the width and yardage were the same, but they were wrapped in plastic so I couldn't feel if they were different texture.
I'll let you know how how the new pattern works out.
