How can I upcycle leftover yarn?

This isn't exactly a project, but the art department of most schools welcome leftover materials.

Hi you can make a “duster” using a hanger from the dry cleaners, you cut up all different colors and then attach them very tightly. This is a great project for pre schoolers and/or senior s who need something to do to keep them busy. I just started this one with my 4 year old granddaughter to give her mom for her birthday, she’s very excited about it , small yellow piece of yarn is shown for how you attach it. I started one side and my granddaughter started the other. You could also donate yarn to church’s/temples or groups that make lap blankets. Prayer shawls for the ill or folks in nursing homes. Good luck .

I've used the yarn to create banners for the holidays...like this one with orange yarn carrots for spring or Easter. https://www.exquisitelyunremarkable.com/2015/03/easy-easter-garland-banner.html

Sandra: Collect all yarn of similar weight and make colorful throws -- to donate to homeless shelters.

Sandra....I roll mine in balls and put in bowls, baskets, bins, etc.

Hi Sandra, if your yarn scraps are long thin pieces you can make small storage containers to give as gifts or use at home - https://acraftymix.com/blog/repurposed-packing-tape-storage/
