On a recent trip to a large store, I found this tulle, or net-like material for only $3.77.  It was 50 feet by 6 inches or half a foot, and this translates into 8 and 1/3 square yards of tulle.  At a little less than$0.50  per yard, this seemed to be a bargain.  And it was already in a long, continuous strip, perfect for crocheting some little scrubbies, a couple of which I got for Christmas, and found perfect for cleaning non-stick pans.

So I crocheted six scrubbies, directly from the spool with a size I crochet hook.  Each took about one  and one third yards of the tulle, and took the better part of an hour to do.  I did not find that my own creations were as good as the ones I had been given, though about the same size, because the texture was too fine, and the number of stitches required was higher.  I put them all together, with the leftover scraps, and weighed the total on my kitchen scale.  The whole amount of tulle weighed 2.15 ounces.  The type of material of which the tulle was made was not given.   Two and fifteen hundredths of an ounce for $3.77 is not inexpensive as far as yarns go.

I decided that this is definitely not an income producer for me, and that tulle is better used other ways than as a yarn.  I am glad that I only got three, instead of all ten that I had placed into my basket in different colors, initially.
