5 Projects to Help You Use Up Leftover Yarn
Do you ever end up with yarn that is left over from another project and you aren’t sure what to do with it? There are so many great ways to use up leftover yarn. You can create fabulous projects that can be given as gifts or even to charity, and you can make them all with less than one skein of yarn. Even if you are left with a bunch of partial skeins, there are many possibilities. Today, I am sharing 5 examples of what you can do with partial skeins of yarn!
