People who do cross stiches often use small peices of wool for that - so they might want them? You could also use them for rag rugs

Nice website

Yes Louisa, there are scraps but there are also quite a few full balls as well! Thanks for putting it on.

When I was a kid I loved making pompoms from short bits of wool, then I joined them up to make crazy scarves or toys or whatever came to mind. You could also use them as trimming on kids sweaters or on handbags. Another thing I used to do was crochet flowers in all the different colours, then join them into bigger pieces as ponchos or hats - it all depends how creative you can be. Just be prepared to be bold with your colours!

If you’re not into rug making/pompoms etc. I’m sure someone on your local freecycle group will be.

Most hospitals with a maternity ward have connections to groups of volunteers who will use old wool to knit clothes for preemies. Given then size of the babies, they don’t usually need that much wool to make mittens or hats.

Knitting groups are springing up all over, and some are collecting wool for charity projects like the preemie clothes or finger puppets for young hospital patients. There’s bound to be one in your area. Check in your local yarn store for notices or ask them.

scrap afghans can be crocheted or knitted, there are loads of patterns on the internet for crocheted squares using more than one colour. Granny square blankets can be made from a anything, the more colours the better.
There is a project called Afghans for Afghanistan so finished items can be donated.

The wool can be used to wrap pens - including making designs!

(Assuming the pen user isn’t allergic to wool like I am)

Wool that’s really old and has lost the ability to withstand stretching can be used as stuffing in stuffed toys.

Making bracelets and scoobie things.

My lovely old mum used to make granny square blankets & everybody wanted one ( I have several) now that she has passed away we can all still get a nice granny mummy blanket hug.

Donate the scraps to an elementary/primary school for children’s art projects.

You could go to a wedding and use it as grafiti

give it to ollie an emily they can use it in the car to make something on the way to school.

Yo,Yo dudes!! Make your garden more colourful by sprinkling it all over it will look really pretty if you use different colours or you could give it to emily and ollie again they said they need more wool now!!

Though you can probably use the stocking Idea from the cat toy how-to to make the felted balls for your felt pebbles.

There is a lady at our local farmer’s market who makes felted potholders, they won’t flame if left near the burner on the cookstove.
