My sister was at at tag sale and found 4 HUGE bags of
wool yarn for $5.00!!!
The problem is when we got it home we found that most of it has been cut into two foot pieces. We did get a few balls but can I do with all the two foot pieces?? Latch hooking a rug was a thought but it won't happen.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Liz

On another site I visit.....they suggested stuffing pillows with bits and pieces of yarn. I thought that was a great idea.
Good luck

what about latch hooking cushion covers instead? Far quicker and more do-able than a rug ( where if like me you start to give up the will to live by the end of it :)
Or... or... or.. - oh incoming brain wave ! - what about using them in an Easter wreath somehow?
So much to do, so little time :) |

How about weaving pillow tops, bags, or doll hair?

Vanessa, you are hilarious!
Liz, what about using it for soft nesting material for the chickies? Am I off base there? Is it too expensive for that?

Well I came up with one idea, I started tying the pieces to gether,wound it into a ball and started to make slippers. I'm hoping the knots don't drive me nuts! We'll see how it goes.

You could cut them a little smaller and put them in a clean, empty suet cage. The birds will pick the yarn out to use as nesting material.
