What is tawashi? Tawasi is the art of crocheting or knitting eco-friendly, durable sponges for washing dishes or cleaning the bathroom. The technique has given its name to these Zero Waste sponges. No need for detergent, tawashi sponges made with Creative Bubble wool are abrasive and machine-washable at 60°C.
