What do you do with yarn / fabrics you no longer need / no longer like?

Dear community,

what do you do with yarn / fabrics that you no longer want to keep?

You can find beautiful patterns for using yarn and fabrics here.

I usually just store most of it until I come up with an idea for it, but I’ve also swapped packages of yarn at a swap group, and right now I sometimes have people with grandkids who can put it to good use. Though that does remind me of a yellow lace fabric I really won’t be using anymore (why do I even own it???).... 🤣

That doesn’t happen to me very often. No matter how long the yarn sits around, I’m convinced that eventually I’ll be able to put it to good use. 

I reorganize my yarn regularly so I get to see it every now and then. And eventually, I’ll start working with it. 

I donated a large bag full of acrylic yarn to the church’s craft group, and they were very happy to receive it.

I’ve got some yarn lying around here, too… I bought it because it looked nice and felt nice. And I’m sure that someday this yarn will find a use, too ;-)

Hallo ihr Lieben!

Ich versuche mal bei euch mein Glück. Ich bin nämlich auf der dringenden Suche nach Garnresten "Utopia Crafts Big Boss Warm Ivory" Bitte, könnt ihr nachschauen, ob jemand von euch genau dieses Garn in Restbeständen vorrätig hat? Ich würde es euch gerne abkaufen. Dieses Acrylgarn ist leider nicht mehr verfügbar. Ich stricke eine Decke und das Garn könnte am Ende knapp werden. Ihr seid so gut wie meine letzte Hoffnung 🙏🙏🙏

No, unfortunately I don’t have any acrylic yarn at all.

Unfortunately, I don’t have this yarn either, and I couldn’t find anything online (revalry). 

Fingers crossed for you 

Thanks anyway

Thanks for keeping your fingers crossed—hopefully it helps
