Yarn on a budget

Lovely things for less.

4 min read

You don't need expensive yarn to make beautiful things.

Ideas

  • Start with acrylic or cotton for practice
  • Look for yarn at thrift stores and estate sales
  • Join swaps with crafting friends
  • Use leftovers for stripes, scrappy blankets and small toys
  • Buy enough for a project at once, from one dye lot

General information. Always check your yarn label and pattern. Simple Joy Collective isn't paid by any yarn brand or store.
