Yarn Crafts

Whether you are working with leftover yarn from a crochet project or simply picked up a skein of your favorite colored yarn from the craft store. Discover 7 amazingly creative yarn craft ideas you can make today. And all these crafts are beginner friendly.

Yarn Projects

Depending on the volume of yarn you have you could make a knitting project or a crochet project. If you are working with bigger bulkier yarn you could arm knit a blanket or throw.

The one thing with yarn projects is they last a long time. I still have a crocheted blanket my grandmother gave me when I graduated. There is something about handmade items. They last a lot longer than commercially made items.

Yarn Craft Ideas

Now I have mentioned crocheted blankets and knitted projects but today we are going a bit smaller scale and talking about yarn crafts. Simple yarn projects you can make in an afternoon.

Yarn Projects For Beginners

If you are looking for beginner crochet or beginner knitting projects here are some links to some great projects to help get you started.

Popular Crafting Yarn

Now when it comes to yarn projects having the correct yarn takes the headache out of the learning process. Here are some of the more popular crafting yarns.

  • Bernat Big Ball Yarn
  • SC Yarn For Scrubbies
  • Sugar n’ Cream Yarn
  • Bernat Blanket Yarn
  • Red Heart Super Saver Yarn

Things To Do With Yarn

You can do a lot with yarn. From kids crafts to rugs, to blankets, to pillows, to sweaters, to hats. Your options are endless. And no blanket patterns are the same. Change a stitch or yarn color and the result is entirely different from the last.

Yarn Projects On The Go

Yarn projects are a great creative past time for those that need to keep busy or are looking to do something with their hands. I have known many moms who have brought knitting or crocheting to the soccer games or the school pick up line. And many grandmas who simply sit and crochet while they watch their favorite television shows.
