Hello everyone, I need help deciding what to do with my yarn. I’m talking about cotton string, around 8 milimeters. The problem is, crocheting with this yarn is really hard. I tried making coasters and basket, but after a while my wrist gets too tired and I never finish these projects. Is there a way I could use this yarn without crocheting? Maybe i could do some sort of decorations?
Hi there! It sounds like you’re having a bit of trouble finding the right project for your 8mm cotton string. Don’t worry, there are still plenty of creative options to explore!
Here are some ideas to get you started:
1. Macrame:
Macrame is a fantastic way to use chunky cord like yours. It’s a knotting technique that creates beautiful, textured pieces. You can make all sorts of things with macrame, including:
Plant hangers
Wall hangings
Keychains
Jewelry
Dream catchers
There are tons of tutorials online to help you get started with macrame. It’s a bit different from crocheting, so it might be a nice change of pace.
2. Weaving:
Weaving is another great option for using thick cord. You can make things like:
Rugs
Scarves
Belts
Placemats
Tote bags
There are different weaving techniques, so you can find one that suits your skill level and desired outcome.
3. Rope Art:
This is a more experimental approach, but you could create interesting wall art or sculptures using your cord. You could try coiling it, braiding it, or twisting it into different shapes.
4. Other Crafts:
There are many other crafts that you could use your cord for, such as:
Tassels
Fringes
Pom-poms
Braided trivets
Keychains
Just get creative and see what you can come up with!
