Sometimes you have fine yarn that you want to work multistranded.
You can simply work from both ends of a skein to double it, if you want to triple it though, you simply must have three skeins – but only, if you don’t know how to triple the yarn very easily ;-))
I find this idea of a greeting card with yarn painting wonderful, also, because you can use up your old mesh vegetable bags ;-)
If you really dye your own yarn you have to wind your wool afterwards.
That can take quite some time (I speak from my own experience) and so a self-made ball winder would perhaps be of help ;-)

I’m too short to wear such a necklace with big wool ball beads, but it shouldn’t be too hard to make it ;-)

I like to knit with acrylic yarns, but I always thought that it can’t be blocked (this is what nearly everybody says).
But it can! ;-))
(By the way: I suppose that also crocheted acrylic can be blocked ;-))
