Are you tired of wasting your money on loofahs that fall apart and need to be thrown away? I know I am. So why not crochet our own loofahs instead?
When you make your own loofah you can customize its size, and colour to suit your preferences. And you can wash a crochet loofah over and over again.
What is a Loofah?
A loofah is a natural sponge that grows on the luffa plant. It is part of the gourd family that also contains cucumbers, watermelons, and pumpkins.
A loofah sponge occurs as the fruit matures. It develops a fibrous texture inside. After the fruit dries, the outer skin is removed to reveal the natural sponge-like interior. Loofah sponges can also be handmade using fibrous material, such as yarn.
Loofah sponges are often used for exfoliating and cleansing the skin in showers or baths. Loofahs are popular due to their ability to leave the skin feeling clean, smooth, and refreshed.
