[NFB-Krafters-Korner] Scrap yarn what to do first...

[Cathy Flesher]

Hi Joyce,
When my sister was in high school she was crocheting a blanket. She rolled up all the yarn she had into a basketball sized ball. She’d take it to school and crochet between classes. When it was done, she gave it to me for when I went to college. <smile, good memory>

Have a wonderful day Cathy F

Simply add the yard and continue rolling until you have all the One you want on that one ball. Then, as your crochet we get to another color, simply add that next color yarn on as you would so it would hide and not have any knots.
