How do you deal with those little bits of yarn that you just can't bear to toss? Yarn bobbins (pictured above) are one option. I find they leave a straggly end that can tangle while stored. They are also a bit fussy to wind, and even fussier to unwind when they are used in a project. Time for a new solution!
Look how neat these little bundles are, and no stragglers! All you need is some soft hair elastics. These are about an inch in diameter but will stretch quite a lot, and won't tangle or fray the yarn, because they are made of a stretchy terry-cloth like material. You can find them by the dozens at discount stores.
Here is how I did it!
 |
| `1. Tie one end of your yarn to the elastic. Keep it fairly loose. |
 |
| 2. Wind the yarn around your finger (not too tight) creating a centre-pull ball. |
 |
| 3. Remove the ball from your finger carefully. |
 |
| 4. Loop the elastic over the ball, securing the loose end and keeping the centre-pull end ready to use! |
Ta-da! Happy stashing...
