I’ve found an interesting way to estimate the amount of yarn (roughly!) if you have a beautiful yarn lying before you and if you have an idea about what to knit with it.

This yarn feather (II) is made in the same way than the yarn feather that I presented before.
I’ve only been fascinated by the ways to further embellish it :)

I presented the washer pendant (and the glazed washer necklace, but this does not quite apply here ;-)) before, but at this thread wrapped washer necklace you connect more than one thread wrapped washers instead of hanging only one single thread wrapped washer at the necklace.
Actually you can make a whole set with this with necklace, earrings, bracelet, pin, ring etc. :)

How do you like the Spirograph pin?
It makes me think of ‘Zwirnsterne’ (I don’t know the English term for these) and I find that it would also make a beautiful Christmas tree ornament :)

That’s the simplest version of a self-made electric yarn ball winder I’ve ever seen.
Ingenious, isn’t it? :)

Cute, the macramé heart ring, isn’t it? :)
The macramé heart pendant could match it.

I find these yarn bombing things great but would never have known where to start.
The instruction on how to yarn bomb a chair helps :)

Even if you don’t want to build an unravel sweater machine you may have as much fun as I had looking at the video :)
By the way, it’s no joke, the unravel sweater machine can be used by charity projects where they unravel old sweaters to re-use the yarn.
