Yarn Skeins

Posted in Yarn | No Comments »

What can I do with leftover yarn?

I usually make hats with yarn but I have some skeins were I still have a lot left, just not enough to make a hat. Any craft ideas I can do that can sell?

Utilize your "bits" by learning a new technique -- such as freeform crochet and/or freeform knitting. There are many websites, books, and videos available on this fantastic technique!

Create a "magic ball" by tying all the yarn together and create a unique "one of a kind" garment.

Use the bits to create buttons, or use as a trim on hats, bags & other projects. Create something for a Barbie or baby doll. Stuff some pretty bits into a clear glass ornament as a unique tree ornament. Chop them up into 2" lengths & sprinkle around your yarn; the birds will utilize it as nesting materials.

I hope this helps,
