It’s easy to build up a stash of scrap yarn, those ends of balls of yarn, the longer strands left overs from joining your projects – they are all useful, but knowing what to make with them can be overwhelming.
I’ve gathered together over 100 projects that can be used to bust that stash and use up your scrap yarn but to keep it easy to select what to make, the projects are divided up into the weight of the yarn you have to use.
You’ll find 5 different categories:
- Less than 100g of yarn
- 100-200g of yarn
- 200- 300g of yarn
- 300-400g of yarn
- 400g plus of yarn
