.......of old sheets stripped into a fabric yarn and made into one of the puffs..perfect for a rug just need to sort out and rip up all the old fitted sheets
took me about half an hour last night to make two balls of yarn from the sides of an old fitted pink sheet
New bed just before Christmas and the old sheets won't fit the new bed so....
1 throw them out?
2 send to the charity shop?
3 be creative with a new rug?
still have the centre piece to shred
one on the left is fabric and 10 mm hook
the one on the right is 5 strands of DK Merino with a 10mm hook....loathed to use so much Pure Merino for a rug!!
2 small ones are same puff 2 strands and a 4.5mm hook
and
one strand and a 2.5mm hook
Just love these puffs....totally addictive but not done my poor old clicky thumb any good...it is bad this morning and it now hurts too...help!
2 More books arrived yesterday...only had a quick look but a teeny weeny bit disappointed
but will give them another chance and they might surprise me!
Option 3 is definately the best choice, I had throwing away any fabric that can be recycled into something pretty!

ReplyDeleteMight need to buy a few cheap in the sale sheets to get the colours l want though
