I was gifted some home made pot scrubbers in Florida right before I came back north. I brought a couple with me and absolutely loved them. I showed them to my sister and sis in law and they immediately said that they had to learn how to make them.
The story of their inception is this.
There we were, in our favorite place on the planet (that isn't a restaurant), Joanns, looking for things to use our 40%off coupon and other things because it was 10% off the entire purchase. On our list of things to buy were blades for the Cricuit, and refills for the Xyron along with goggly eyes, itty bitty pompoms, heart shaped brads and lots and lots of marked down and then 50% off Legacy quilt fabric, all the while looking for the ball of what ever it was that the scour pads were made of. We never found them and were talking about the dilemma when the girl who was cutting the fabric said that it was net that they were made of. She said you cut the netting in strips of two inches and use as yarn!!!!

We gathered a bunch of netting (my choice being the darkest; why see junk on the thing after using if you don't have to?) and hustled home to make them. We tried various sizes and ended up with this for their construction. You would think that the stuff would be hard on your hands but it is not at all. It good stuff to watch tv and do.

Netting: I bought 3 yards and cut
them in two inch strips the long way.
I figured I could make about nine from that. If you buy less and have shorter strips, you will just join
ends together a little more frequently.
To
join the strips, take two pieces and line up one end of each on top of each
other, Fold the end over about an inch and make a half inch slit in the center
of the fold. Now line the two slit
ends on top of each other with the other ends going in opposite directions
so that the cut ends overlap and
the slits line up. Insert the
uncut end of the bottom strip through the slits, entering from the top. Pull both strips so that the end result
is a knot. You can also just knot
the two ends. Just try and have
the ends all on one side as you crochet so it is easier to clean up. You will need about five strips joined
the way that I cut the net. You
can roll it in a ball if you want or you can add on as you need to.
