- Hi everyone. This is a tutorial on how to use up little odds and ends of yarn that you can't do much with........but now you can! Using some bits of leftover yarn and a super cool knot that I found on Instagram from Bohemian Stitches - / bohemian_stitches - You can make your own scrap ball of yarn which can then be used for a brand new project!
Happy Crocheting Everyone!
You can find me on Instagram, Facebook and Tiktok. Be sure to tag me if you make anything, I would absolutely love to see it!

You are a delight! Thanks for this video, I now finally know what to do with all those scraps 😊
@@pinkiedinkieamie you are very welcome 🤗
It works!!! Thank you for the spectacular tip 😍
You are very welcome!!
You yarn goddess, you! I tried to learn the Russian join before and could not get it, but this is magic! I am now rolling right along, making my scrap yarn ball and I am having fun making these knots. Once you get it, this is a breeze to do. Yay! Thanks for sharing.
Thats amazing! Thank you so much! ❤️
This is a great tutorial thank you. I think the way you knot them together is brilliant. Thank you. 🧶
You're welcome! ❤️
I have used this knot for years! Hands down my fav!
GENIUS absolutely GENIUS. ❤️ I have a basket full of scrap yarn. I know what I'll be doing this weekend. Thank you 😊
Yessss! Have lots of fun!
I want to learn how to make the sweater you're wearing in this vid. the Sleeves are amazing!!
Thank you! ♥️
Magic balls for use in lapghans, Langwarms or even little Ugly Sweaters for Christmas decorations. Very good . I use light and then dark, light and then dark.
Hi! I was searching for ways to add a cuff and found an older video of yours. I enjoyed it so much that I watched this one and WOW! What a neat way to join scrap yarn together! I will definitely use this. I have subscribed and I’m looking forward to watching more of your videos! Wishing you a great week!
Thank you so much. I really appreciate your feedback and I'm glad that you have enjoyed both videos! 🙂
WOW … well that was fun to watch!!! GREAT explanation! I’ll have to try that one!!! Tanx!!!🎉 … but you need a cone ball winder to wind all that new yarn!!!
You are very welcome!
Thanks so much haha I always wondered how they did this. God bless you
You're welcome 🤗
I do something similar,but do it a bit different,called a magic knot.I too use up my scrappy bits to make new balls of wool and have used them to make blankets
I used to use the magic knot too but was never keen on cutting the yarn close to the knot so would leave the ends to weave in and secure them. This one you don't have to do that! 😍🙂
@@CraftandaCuppa I cut close to the knot like you 🤞,so far so good
Lovely! I do this with the ends I cut off after I end a project, as well as my little balls of scrap yarn. I cut my ends to about 4-5 inches, allowing me to do this :)
Enjoyed your video. Wish I'd seen it before I started a scrap ball of yarn. Your knotting technique was interesting. I had a bunch of scrap yarn and I was bored the other night, so I started knotting all the pieces of yarn together with just a square knot. I've been leaving the ends on thinking it might give it a very nubby look. If I don't like them, then I'll cut them off as I go along. My ball of yarn is currently 4" in diameter. It is all different colors and I actually enjoyed the process! I have a long way to go if I ever want to make a blanket out of them, but I'm patient. 😺
Yes, it has taken me a while to make mine. I've been keeping this yarn and adding to it for over 4 years 🤣
Amazing ❤thanks for sharing.❤️❤️
You are very welcome ❤️
Thankyou so much for the tutorial it's brilliant 😁😁
You are very welcome!
Love this 😀 ❤️
Thank you!
This was amazing! Thank you😍 Defenently going to save this for later!
Thank you! 🙂
I always get nervous of knots that are so easy, like it blends together so beautifully. What would happen after years of washing and such, do you think the knot would come loose then? I’m super hard on clothes and would hate to have something unravel cuz I’m like a full grown toddler 😂
Please and thank you
I literally yank on it so hard and it's not going anywhere! I use to use the magic knot and weave all of the ends in as well as I was super parotid about cutting close to that knot, but this one is different and much more secure ❤️
@@CraftandaCuppa thank you 🥰
I have been doing magic knot too and I never could quite trust the knot to snip the ends down to nothing lol. Too much of a disaster if it comes out! I need to try this knot!
Yes I cant get on with the magic knot either! This one is brilliant though, just be sure to give it a really good tug to test it out!
I LOVE making balls using all of my leftover yarn - but I heard it called MAGIC YARN, not scrap yarn. It sounds a bit more fun. =^.^=
Yes I've heard them very called magic balls too. I decided to call my scrap ball so everyone was clear on what it was 🙂
I do this with all my odds and sods but I cake it all up with my ball winder😊
That is extremely helpful and saves your hands❤️
Could you use a yarn ball winder after joining each yarn? There must be a way!
Possibly but it's probably easier just to wind by hand 🙂
I use a winder because I get more consistent tension on the wound yarn as opposed to balling up the yarn.
Why not start with the biggest scrap ball and go from there instead of starting with the smallest piece of scrap??
You can do it however you wish! I don't like long lines of one colour so I tend to keep snip longer balls and make them shorter, then add some more of that colour in a bit further into the scrap ball 😊
Okay 👍
Just looking at other videos on scrap blankets, they always seem to make sure that each row is one solid yarn or combo for the entire row.
Anyway, scrap is scrap, lol 😂
