🧺 Farmhouse Chic Crochet Soap Saver | Cozy, Functional, and Full of Charm

There’s something so comforting about slowing down and creating with your hands. Whether it’s the rhythm of the stitches, the texture of natural cotton yarn, or that little spark of joy when a project comes together — this week’s make brought all of that and more.

In my latest video on Sweetpea Cyd’s Inspirations, I shared how to make a Farmhouse Chic Crochet Soap Saver — a simple, beginner-friendly project that adds handmade beauty to your everyday routine. 🌾

This soap saver blends practicality and farmhouse charm in the most satisfying way. It’s quick, functional, and perfect for adding that cozy handmade touch to your bathroom, kitchen, or even gift baskets.

🧶 Why I Love This Project

I’ve always adored pieces that feel timeless — the kind you could find tucked inside an old farmhouse linen cupboard or displayed in a cozy modern home. The Farmhouse Chic Soap Saver has that same kind of charm.

Made with 100% cotton yarn, it’s soft, durable, and sustainable — a wonderful alternative to plastic loofahs or store-bought scrubbers. I used warm neutrals (think creamy whites and soft beiges) to capture that rustic farmhouse aesthetic I love so much.

Each one turns out a bit different depending on the yarn and tension, making every soap saver unique. You can add simple details — a drawstring, wooden bead, or lace trim — to make it completely your own.

These are also amazing gift ideas! Wrap one around a handmade soap bar, tie it up with twine, and you’ve got the perfect thoughtful, eco-friendly gift.

🧼 Pretty and Practical

Beyond being cute, these soap savers are incredibly useful. They help you use every last sliver of your soap bar while offering a soft, exfoliating feel. Because they’re cotton, they’re washable, reusable, and biodegradable, making them perfect for sustainable living.

🌸 My Latest Video — Pregnancy Update, Works in Progress & Yarn Destash!

Before this week’s tutorial, my latest video was a life update and cozy catch-up — filled with some exciting news and creative plans!

I shared an update on my pregnancy 💕 — how things have been going, how I’ve been balancing rest with creativity, and the ways crafting has helped me stay grounded during this season.

I also showed off a few works in progress that I’ve been working on behind the scenes — a mix of cozy textures, calming neutrals, and a few pops of inspiration for upcoming projects.

And for those who’ve been following my yarn journey, I announced that some of my handspun and hand-dyed yarns will soon be available on Mercari! ✨ These skeins are truly special — each one spun and dyed by hand with so much love and intention. Listing them is a bittersweet part of my creative cycle — letting them find new homes so they can become something beautiful in someone else’s hands.

That video felt like sitting down for a heart-to-heart — a mix of updates, fiber talk, and gratitude. If you haven’t watched it yet, it’s a perfect cozy moment to crochet along with. ☕🧶

🩵 Coming Soon: The Harbor of Love Sweater

Now for something very close to my heart — the next project coming to the channel is the Harbor of Love Sweater.

This one is extra special because I’m making it for my daughter. 🥹💗 It’s been such a labor of love — every stitch feels like a quiet little wish for her. The design is soft and dreamy, inspired by that gentle coastal-farmhouse aesthetic that feels both classic and comforting.

I can’t wait to share it with you all — from the yarn choices to the texture details and the meaning behind the name. It’s a project full of warmth, love, and intention, and I know you’ll feel it when you see it.

🌿 Finding Beauty in the Slow Moments

This season has reminded me that creativity and rest can coexist beautifully. Between preparing for baby, managing the little bursts of energy, and working through slower days, my craft has become a grounding space.

The Farmhouse Chic Soap Saver may be small, but it represents what I love most about handmade — simplicity, sustainability, and heart.

So if you’re looking for a relaxing make that fills your creative cup, I hope this project brings you as much peace as it brought me. 💛
