Here’s a fun way to use up your yarn ends. Knot the ends of your yarn together, leaving 1″ tails. I used 6″ to 9″ lengths of red, yellow and green; however, use any lengths and colors you have on hand. You can make a ball of yarn, but I join yarn ends as I crochet. Now, simply crochet with your yarn. Use the end of a yarn needle to pull out any fringe that gets caught up in the stitches.
The best part about this yarn? No ends to weave in!
Pictured, I have started a simple dc scarf with my yarn. It’s fun, flirty and warm!
I think this yarn would make an especially cute “shag” rug, perhaps for your bathroon floor!
Enjoy!
