Real needlewomen will not throw away a single thread left after knitting, but will carefully put them in a bag or box to create a knitted masterpiece from leftover yarn in the future.

From these remaining balls you can knit not only decorative items with pompoms, but also a full-fledged original piece of clothing. You just need to use your imagination, then the multi-colored mosaic will definitely come together successfully.
Features of knitting with different threads
Over time, needlewomen collect remnants of yarn of different texture, thickness and color. Based on the available variety, you need to think about how best to combine the yarn. In some products you can combine cotton and acrylic, mohair and melange, in others it is better to choose threads of the same texture.
The thickness of the yarn can also be combined, alternating thick and thin thread, or knit the middle part of the product with yarn of one thickness, and the edges with another.
Along with the thickness of the thread, you can change the knitting pattern. If you need to get yarn of the same thickness, then thinner threads are taken in 2 - 3 folds. The number of knitting needles or hooks is selected according to the thickness.
Products are knitted in one piece or in separate fragments, which are then joined together. If you use yarn with knots and bumps, then it is better to knit with stockinette or garter stitch and do not use patterns.
Crocheting and knitting from leftover yarn allows you to create interesting and practical things
You can also experiment with color by knitting individual fragments of the pattern or details of the product with yarn of different shades. Contrasting colors look more impressive in the finished item. To prevent the product from being too colorful, you can choose a base color and 2 - 3 shades of leftover yarn.
Without knitting needles and hook
And leftover yarn can be useful to you, even if you don’t have knitting needles or a hook at hand. You can do interesting things using other simple techniques.
Pompoms
Pompoms, plain or multi-colored, are a classic. But let us remind you how they are made.
We prepare round templates from cardboard - 2 pieces:
We wrap them with thread from a ball in several layers.
The thicker the layer, the more magnificent the pompom will be.
We cut the threads by inserting scissors between the cardboard circles:
Between the circles of cardboard we insert a thread, which we tie tightly:
Now you can remove the pompom from the cardboard.
Pompons are used to decorate hats, scarves, bags, and are used to make soft toys.
Mandalas
The leftover yarn makes beautiful mandalas - home decorations and amulets.
