How Do You Use Scrap Thread or Yarn?
How do you like to use up your scrap yarn and thread? You can share ideas and links in the comment section.
I use my leftover thread to make flowers. The images show a pansy and tulip doily out of scrap thread. Some of the flowers are smaller or larger sizes because the threads are not the same size. It really gives it a unique character with different sizes, especially since flowers in real life are never the same identical size.
The most common way I use up scrap yarn is granny squares. It is also great for embellishing faces on stuffed animals or dolls.
wow, how original. They are lovely.
ReplyDeleteI just stumbled across your blog via your YouTube videos, and just wanted to say THANK YOU for all the time & effort you put into your great work for all of us other crochet fans to learn and enjoy.
ReplyDeleteOh, and I use my cotton scraps in dishcloths. Other scraps become random stripes in other projects, coasters, or ties & bows for gift wrap.
It all really depends on how much of "scrap" yarn/thread I have. Right now the little bit I have been having left over I have been making into these simple tiny butterflies to use for fridiges or hair clips. The tread ones are just right size for applying to a childs dress even
ReplyDeleteYou really want to know what I do with my scraps? LOL I have a ball of yarns scraps in my closet that I ahve ben winding for about a year now, its the size of a basketball and someday, I am going to make an afghan out of it. LOL
ReplyDeleteHarold2,
ReplyDeleteThat is a great idea. I remember way back when, before I knew how to crochet well, there was this woman who was making an afghan in single crochet all out of scrap yarn. She has already completed 1 and was on the second. It was really pretty and looked warm.
I Mostly use mine to make flower , leaves , for small applique , for edges , littles bows , ect. but never trash them.You alwaus have something to make with them and never now when need them.Thanks.
