Let’s face it, there are TWO types of yarn stash. One, a few skeins, balls or hanks of yarn that look pretty, give you inspiration and are ready to go when you find the perfect project. Two, the absolute MOUNTAIN of yarn that threatens to collapse on you every time you walk past it. Hands up if you’re guilty of number two…🙋 Well, don’t worry, I’m here to HELP. I’ve put together a list of some of my favourite stashbusting crochet projects that are perfect for hoovering up any small scraps of yarn you have left, or full balls that you stashed ‘for later’…three YEARS ago. Ready to do a deep dive into that stash? Let’s go!
