What to do with leftover yarn

Twelve small projects, ranked by how guilty they make you feel about your stash.

by theo wren · apr 30 · 2026 · 5 min

A coaster set. A scrunchie. A tiny basket for the rings you take off when you wash dishes. A bookmark. A small heart for a card you'll mail to a friend. A bow. Another bow. A different bow. A garland for a window. A keychain. A pincushion. A repair, woven into the elbow of a sweater nobody is going to throw away.
