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

[Henry Osborne]

Good Morning Terry P and everyone, Terry, I don't see why you couldn't use 
varigated yarns along with solid colors of worsteds.
It sounds like the crazier the mix, the better.
I'm already thinking of a full sized blanket for my bed made on the S shaped 
loom, or on the 60 peg loom for panels that will be sewn or crocheted 
together.
This is a new addition to my to do list of future projects, smile.

Did you use worsted weight yarn?  If so, what size needles and how many 
stitches for what size blanket?
I have a lot of worsted weight yarn!
Can I put verigated in with solids?
I do not see why not!

Any ideas for baby colors of verigated worsted weight yarn.  Not sure if I 
have enough for cleanex boxes.  I might try hat and booties and see how much 
it takes, but is this alright to put in a blanket?

Terry

I do that with my scrap yarn. I've kept rolling it and have had a ball of 
yarn larger then a large watermelon. I've then started working it up into 
blankets of many colors for the homeless. I think I almost got 3 full size 
blanket out of one of my scrap balls.

If you have clean scrap yarn, before you pack it away, take and create a 
ball out of it, but now what you need to do is take more of scrap yarn and 
tie another left over to it and whined it onto that ball, but tie the ends 
together and keep whining all one after the other until you have a nice size 
ball of yarn and then you are ready to knit or crochet and just work the 
ends into the work.

I had told Terry K. about this going back in time and she reported back to 
me that she was doing that.  It is an easy way of keeping track of those 
scraps and I learned this trick from a gentleman, who taught himself how to 
crochet and was using up his wife's scraps making scarves out of it.

He was selling the scarves at a craft show and his wife was selling her 
shawls and other items.  There was a lot of conversation going on regarding 
how unique they were.
