I went to dollar tree and got these yarns for 1.25 each. I think that’s a great deal but one problem I don’t know what to make with them? Any ideas. I don’t think I have enough to make a blanket and there are no more of these at the store.
Wow that’s a great deal!! Some ideas I have are giant amigurumis or a chunky sweater, tell us what you end up making with it!
Do you have an idea for what amigurumi to do with it? I am thinking of making a blanket but will share the end results
It could make a cute scarf if you like chuncky ones! It could also make a cute cropped sweater or vest. Depends on how much you bought!
I was thinking a frog since those seem to be really popular and you have green, I’m not sure what amigurumi you could make with the purple…
Actually I was thinking of a frog. The only issue is me don’t have a crochet hook for that thick yarn I will see what I can make thanks for helping. Let me know if you find any ideas
A crochet hook that big will be a little tricky to find, I have seen some on Etsy and Amazon, they might have them at your local craft store too! I’ll definitely think of ideas for the purple yarn!
you should try making slippers
You know that’s a good idea but I found this really cute idea. I am going to hand knit a cardigan or jacket. I found a tutorial on YouTube
When I have a yarn that is too big I crochet with my hand instead of a hook. You do need to get the hang of it first before trying it on a project though. Hand knitting is another good option either way.
That also looks like a roving type of yarn, which is really cute but sheds a ton . I once hand knitted a whole blanket with roving as a beginner, and with in days my beautiful blanket was trash because it shed everywhere and got tangled in itself. It is probably different in a cardigan though but please consider it before you go all in on a project like this, I don’t want it to get ruined! Edit: I looked at the picture again and it is roving! If you make the cardigan please do not machine wash it! I am not a professional with roving but look into how to take care of pieces made with roving. I also don’t want to scare you from making your project idea. I just wanted to let you know about the struggles with roving I’m sure the cardigan will turn out great! Have fun making it!
I might make a rug with it!
Yeah you are right so I decided to make a hat and some slippers.
That’s a good idea too I will see how much yarn I have. I was thinking of making some slippers and a hat but we will see maybe a scarf….
The brand appears to be mainstays, which is sold at walmart ( I think it’s the walmart brand) if you want more
Yea it’s a Walmart brand but I found it at dollar tree……
Anyways I have enough yarn to hand knit a cardigan so I am a working on that
Possibly a chunky sweater?, a frog seems very cute, what about a strawberry cow? Or even a reversible octopus
Have you tried looking at another store?
