Leftover yarn: such a headache!

One year has passed, another has just begun. At the beginning of every year, we often find ourselves making ambitious plans. We want to do a thousand things, but sometimes our goals seem so big they feel unattainable. And so, we dedicate ourselves to our resolutions for about a month... at least that's what human behavior experts say. Then, January ends, and almost everything returns to normal: the good intentions slowly fade away. Yesterday was 2024, today is 2025... but is there really any difference (apart from the number on the calendar)? For me, no. So, why not just continue what I've already started? In December, I started tidying up. I had wanted to organize my yarns for a long time, but I always put it off. My house is packed with cones, balls, and mini-balls of every type and color. Sometimes, all this clutter makes me a little anxious. I move these scraps from one box to another, but I just can't bring myself to throw them away. And how could I? Many are precious yarns, like cashmere and cashmere blend! Meanwhile, however, I keep buying new yarns for new projects. The result? My collection of scraps is growing out of proportion! How I would love to free the house from all this chaos... but reusing yarns of different thicknesses is not easy at all. Finally, though, I think I've found a solution! I'm delighted to share it with you. I combined yarns of various thicknesses, both for hand knitting and machine knitting, and I created something unique and useful. Watch this short video to discover what I've made: it might inspire you to use your yarn scraps creatively!
