Silk Ribbon Lace Basket or Scarf

This month’s feature yarn is recycled sari fabric yarn. Because it’s recycled, the colors are very assorted and some beads may be attached still! Due to the loose nature of the yarn, any project that needs stiffer structure is taken out of consideration. With that in mind, there are two featured projects in this box dependent on your preference! The first is a lace basket- which can be hung on a doorknob or a wall and can hold larger items that you may need handy. The other project is a lace scarf. The patterns are simple (and very quick!) to allow for the assorted nature and texture of the yarn to shine through. If neither project speaks to you, the yarn can be used for an edge of a larger project or a more decorative wall hanging! Happy Crocheting! ~Lauren

Yarn Prep

The skeins are hanks of yarn and need to be untwisted and wound up into a ball or cake prior to working. 

  1. Untwist the yarn into a circle (pieces of string hold the circle intact).
  2. Find the ends and place the circle over the back of the chair or over knees.
  3. Snip strings and take one end.
  4. Start winding into ball from circle
  5. Repeat for other hank- either continuing into one larger ball or two smaller balls of yarn.
  6. You’re ready to crochet your project!
