As I mentioned, in a previous post, I recently put my yarn ball winder to good use. One of the things I used it for are these scrappy yarn cakes. I took a bunch of partially used skeins and wound them together, just tying in another color whenever I thought it was a good time to do so. This scrapghan is the result. It’s lapghan size. I think the middle of it makes it look like I was drunk (LOL) but the rest of it looks pretty cool to me. :D And no, I was not drunk. The strongest thing I would have been drinking while working on it would have been Diet Mountain Dew. ;D
What a great idea. I love it. Do you weave the ends in when your done? Just found your blog and became a follower.

Thanks, Linda. Yes, I do weave in the ends when I'm done.
DeleteVery nice. I hate to waste leftover bits of yarn and I've made many scrap afghans that have seen much use.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Sharon. :)
DeleteI like it Rita - it looks nice. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Debi. Am I cracking up or did you do something similar one time? Hopefully I am not cracking up! LOL
DeleteIts beautiful..I just ordered a ball winder! Cant wait.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Neicee. I think you will enjoy your ball winder. :)
DeleteYou have made a good use of scraps :) it's beautiful! and I like those colourful balls too as if there are many secret colors inside. It must be fun to work with a curiosity of which color will follow next in the design:)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Preeti. :) Yes, it was fun to crochet. :)
