I used them some, storing their colorful selves near the kitchen sink and tossing them in the washer and dryer with the towels every week (they go in dirty and gross but come out looking brand new. magic!).

So I'm guessing it's scratchy to help "scrub". I love your Tawashi book cover photo!

You've probably loosened up with crochet, and that'll help a lot at preventing wrist pain. Beginner crocheters (as with knitting) usually have a death-grip on the yarn, and that's not good for RSI injuries. Loosening up is much better! Probably after gaining experience with knitting also allowed you to loosen up with crochet. I love that photo too!
