Good Monday to all our creative community!!! I hope this week has been productive for you and that you are doing well!
Last week I decided to take a break from knitting a white sweater and knitted a warm hat for a bit. Thanks to the idea of ​​​​our dear shanibeer@shanibeer, I audited my yarn stocks. I had a lot of this, but then, as I already wrote, they gave me a few more bags.

And that's not all there is! 😁 So, I decided to sort the yarn into what I will use for my future knitting projects and what I definitely won’t need.

Part of my yarn is leftovers in balls and skeins.

With these leftovers, I know what to do: I like to combine yarn of different colors. Or it will go to small needlework projects. But there is already quite old yarn, such as in the white bag in the photo.

I'm sorry to throw it away, but so far I haven't figured out how to use it. How do you use leftover yarn?
In other words, I put aside yarn for my future projects in separate bags, yarn that I don’t need in other bags, and the third group is leftover yarn and old yarn. I decided to sell the second group of yarn through Facebook. To do this, I went to one of the shops for needlework and creativity and looked at the prices in our city for acrylic yarn.

The price of one skein of 100g is basically about 3 dollars.

I decided to put the price a little less - about 2 dollars. My husband took a beautiful photo of the yarn and I put it on sale in different Facebook groups in my city. Here's what it looked like (prices are in shekels)

I had never sold anything this way and was a little worried. And can you imagine, it was bought from me pretty quickly! 💃💃💃😀
My husband liked it so much that he wanted to sell more yarn. 😁 But I never let it be done because I needed the remaining yarn. 😀
Now I have the hardest part: sorting my sewing projects. This is where I need a lot of courage, but I hope I can do it! 🙈😀

Take care of yourself and be healthy!
