If you like the scents?<br /><br />BTW - there are great patterns for covers for your Swiffer/floor dust mop on Ravelery and other places. I love those things!

I lived with a girl once who bought scented everything from laundry detergent, shampoo, air fresheners etc. She said she couldn't smell things very well so the scent was pleasant to her rather than overpowering. I'm guessing that's the demographic for the yarn. Now I'm curious, though. If I ever see it, i'll give it a big sniff.Pallothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00464229722601290185noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2588109276242760886.post-17848022525128854872013-02-21T16:31:36.015-08:002013-02-21T16:31:36.015-08:00Love making dishcloths... but never heard of scent...Love making dishcloths... but never heard of scented yarn!

I do believe the scent fades after washing. It was just fun crocheting with the scented yarn, and an added bonus as a gift.
