[@jazmynlizbeth483]

I know I’m two years late at this point, but I believe the very oddball loopy yarn is supposed to be a finger looping yarn. It’s a technique where you work the loops into each other to create a fabric.

[@Dougcher23]

Thanks for the suggestions! It would also be helpful to see some samples of the ideas you give.

[@JaydaInStitches]

Hi Cheryl, I'll see what I can dig up!

[@melissa_jayneb421]

Hi Jayda, I am knitting the blanket, but I do prefer to crochet. It is lovely to hear from you, as I watch your videos all the time - they are amazing and extremely helpful to someone young like myself, and have given me confidence in doing crochet. 🌞

[@JaydaInStitches]

Knitting takes a little longer, but I love the outcomes!

[@zaktig]

Hi ive made beautiful baby blankets with the pom pom yarn and everybody loved them, sold them at craft fairs and people came back for more, I did knit them , I could not crochet then. But thanks to your fantastic tutorials I can now crochet even the most complicated pattern. I have recommended your site to a few people and they are now learning to crochet with you . I thought at 70 I was to old to learn but I have proved your never ever to old to learn Kind regards Carol France

[@JaydaInStitches]

Hi Carol, thank you so much for watching and sharing our videos with your friends! We really appreciate it!

[@honestytoafault]

the pomp a doodle yarn....someone made me a winter scarf with the purple. I"m not sure where it is right now, but i still have it. and love it!

[@kittensmittens70]

with you red Grey and white loopy yarn that matches your jacket I would make a base to stitch it on to. hat or scarf, so it can still match your jacket and you can get the loop effect. love your projects and your bubbly personality.

[@JaydaInStitches]

Hi Donna, that's a really good idea! Thank you :)

[@noor.iq1]

Thank you Jayda 🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷

[@StormChasingNinja]

I had a random assortment of small balls of most of these yarns, those and thin baby yarn. What I did was I got all of those yarns and doubled up the novelty yarn with the baby yarn or anything that was straight (worsted weight, etc) and made C2C blankets for my churches quilting group that have since donated those blankets to our home bound members who are too ill to come to church. But it burdened through ALL of my scrap yarn and unwanted yarn that I don't like working with.

[@caraseggelke1733]

I used the eyelash yarns with 2, sometimes 3 other yarns for a throw rug. My beautician and daughter LOVED the soft rug to rub their feet in after being on their feet all day. The chunky yarn I used for a throw rug as well.

[@JaydaInStitches]

ooh! Cara, what a lovely idea! :)

[@caraseggelke1733]

Jayda InStitches I got the idea from your video of the scrapghan where u used 2 different colored yarns together which was a TOTALLY new concept for me! I LOVE using 2 and 3 yarns together especially for throw rugs that u want to b thicker. I LOVE all your ideas and videos!

[@knittykatstudio]

I donated all my weird yarns to a crochet shop that has classes for kids. I really enjoyed making 2 or 3 hats and scarves out of them, but for years they just sat in my stash. You have some great ideas though. Thanks for this video :)

[@JaydaInStitches]

That's always a great idea for odd yarn :)

[@LittleLouLouLove96]

Could you do a video about what to do when you're halfway through a project and find that you're bored with it?

[@carolbilsky3841]

Amy Howell Usually those projects go in a tote labeled WIP (Work in Progress) for me. I find if I force myself to finish, I end up either making major mistakes or hating it. Right now I have 3 projects waiting. I make sure I keep a copy of the pattern with the row I'm on and the hook size in pencil together with the yarn. I go back to wips as I get bored with other projects to give me a change of pace.

[@beadedwindsocks]

Another suggestion: put your WIP aside and work on something small or something that needs many parts, ex: make hearts, leaves, stars, triangles, different size squares to make into scarves or blankets. Put the hearts or leaves on a wreath. Make the stars or triangles into a bunting. You basically need a break from project, so work on another. Oh, when you make the small pieces for a bigger project, be sure to store them in a bag, so as to not lose them and keep them clean.

[@werewolfbitevictim]

I hear you. I just want to crochet what I want to when I want to. it results in tons of WIPs going at the same time and I actually will switch out when I get bored with it. this way they all get worked on without me letting it sit for days.

[@LittleLouLouLove96]

I do a lot of projects for other people and 90% of them are huge boring blankets that I get bored with halfway through.

[@JaydaInStitches]

Hi Amy, I often run into projects that either get boring or I get a bit of a block on. If it sits in my WIP bucket for more than a year, then I take the whole thing apart and reuse the yarn for something else!

[@thisismeoffline3882]

I’d love an updated version of this video!!

[@Hayidah12]

With the red heart Pom Pom doodle you should make a shower mat / bath mat It's would make a really nice mat

[@JaydaInStitches]

and awfully soft on the toes :)

[@dougballenger]

Inspired by one of your videos, last year I crocheted an ENORMOUS striped scrapghan with a bunch of eyelash-y yarns leftover from my very first knitting project I made about 12 years ago. Thanks for all of your help, Jayda, you're an excellent teacher!

[@JaydaInStitches]

Hi Doug! That's great! Wow, that must be a pretty and fluffy blanket :) Thank you so much for watching :)

[@annsmith7393]

Love the tin punched furniture you have

[@JaydaInStitches]

Hi Ann, thank you :) Some crafty friends of our made all that furniture!

[@SewingforHobby]

Hi, you can make pom pom or pom pom toys out them! That would be neat to use all that fun yarn. Or Key chains!

[@juliegibbons6401]

Loved your video about weird yarns. I, too, have such a stash. I have used some of my stash to make knitted squares which I have sewn together to make a lovely unusual blanket for those nippy evenings. As far as the Pomp-a-Doodle yarn, I have knitted this yarn and made simple hanger covers which give a lovely cushioning, non-slip finish for clothes - stops clothing slipping or developing those odd shapes in them. Hope this helps.

[@JaydaInStitches]

Hi Julie! Thank you for the tips :)

[@hartsheart]

About a month ago, I finally decided to give up on my "weird yarn" and got rid of all of it! Great video!

[@JaydaInStitches]

Hi Alicia, * giggle * isn't that always the way?!

[@Maloma12]

Hi! I used the pomp-a-doodle on a baby's blanket: I used variegated yarn and laid the string part of the pomp-a-d along the edge I was crocheting and crocheted over it. When I came to a pom-pom I let it show through (all on the same side) and then continued to crochet over the string part until I came to the next pom-pom. I think I searched pinterest for the idea... It looks quite nice. No pic yet. M

[@JaydaInStitches]

Hi! That's a really cute idea (and sounds super easy too!)

[@matildarei]

I bought some fun yarns back in college, which was a while ago. I made some boa scarves with eyelash yarn (I think eyelash yarn was a new craze back then). I crocheted slippers with some chenille yarn, but I found that knitting was less stressful on the yarn than knitting was. My older sister knitted a toddler-sized cardigan and hat for my little sister a few years ago, out of eyelash yarn. It looked like a fur coat! (If rainbow-sherbet-colored fur exists.)

[@JaydaInStitches]

Hi Matilda, if rainbow-sherbet-coloured fur does not exist, then it should!! That sounds like it was a cute coat :)

[@lucilletrapani5293]

Hi Jayda: I made many things from your web.. You are always precise and easy to follow...Right now I am working on the double crochet chevron wave. Making my Grandson a New York Rangers throw in that stitch. Just to pass a compliment to you and thank you for all the beautiful crochet patterns. Lucille

[@JaydaInStitches]

Thank you so much Lucille! 😊

[@mjm3852]

I crochet spiral scatter mats from my scraps, kinda like your scraptastic blankets, and I will incorporate various "funky" yarns for texture and such. That loopy yarn would be great perhaps on the outer edge of the mat. Hopefully no one would catch their toes it it!

[@JaydaInStitches]

* giggle * I would be the one catching my toes LOL, but I really like that idea!

[@emilymay5020]

Hello Jayda, for the pompom yarn I made it into a crochet pillow like the popcorn stitch but instead of making the popcorn ball I used the pompom. It made it more colourful and soft (hope this makes sense)

[@JaydaInStitches]

Hi Emily, thank you for the cute idea!

[@francesdowney6804]

Love your exuberant video - yes I have gone to the store and bought yarn I didn't need, because I didn't check my stash!

[@JaydaInStitches]

* giggle * and THAT'S why I challenged myself this year to not buy any!!

[@2CraftySeniors]

Oh dear... got it, got it, got lots of it... LOL I have a tub of eyelash and other such yarns, plus some of the bigger ones in my cupboard. The trouble is, I am having a difficult time doing anything right now because of my health, but once I can do things again, I will get back to it. Thank you so much for the ideas on what to do with all these weird yarns. I buy most of my yarn at thrift stores and get some really great yarns, but there is generally some weird yarn tucked into the same bag and I just stick it into a bin until I can figure it out. :) Life as a yarner...

[@JaydaInStitches]

Hi Ebba, yes, life as a yarner LOL. I love those thrift store finds, and yes, they always sneak in a weird ball or two, don't they! I hope you're feeling better soon :)

[@KikiaVilla]

Hi Jayda , thanks for this video on weird yarn. Speaking of yarn, this morning I found out that someone broke into my car last night and stole a big zippered bag that was stuffed with my most beautiful my most loved and fantastic shawls, a total of 8, Id been crocheting for years (several of them following your instruction) As you can imagine Im devastated. They actually wiped me out as I had packed my trunk with clothes shoes purses as Im moving. They took everything but the thing that wounds me most is losing my shawls. See I had planned to leave them as heirlooms for my daughters granddaughters friends.... anyhow I guess now I must begin again and I will!! i have no word for surrender!!I Ijust thought Id tell you my sad story Jayda b/c I knew youd understand. Love and Peace to you my friend....

[@matildarei]

🙁

[@mazza_razzza]

Oh, so sorry that happened to you. I would be devastated too. Don't know how people can live with themselves after being so mean. Regards from Australia.

[@beadedwindsocks]

So sorry to hear of the loss of your projects. I, too, would be devastated to have someone take all the work I put in to my projects and take the bag, just b/c. I wish there was a way that I could help out. In the mean time, my best to you and hope everything works out. Stay strong and keep crocheting.

[@myfamilyismylife4569]

ilza Blankenship That's horrible. Some people are just rotten. I'm so sorry that happened to you.

[@JaydaInStitches]

Hi Ilza, that is just awful! I'm certain that whoever took those bags will not have anything close to an idea of how valuable they were. I agree, the things we pour our heart and soul into can be such a terrible loss if they disappear. Good for you for starting again! I hope you enjoy the new shawls you create even more!

[@joanvernal2384]

Hi Jayda you could use the red, white and grey yarn to sew as a trim to throws

[@JaydaInStitches]

Hi Joan, I agree! It would make pretty neat trim...I'm still holding out hope that I can attach it to something to wear with my ski jacket LOL, something that won't feel quite so hot!

[@gunngrl]

I used the pompom yarn as an edging on a hat I created years ago. I would suggest looking at the labels to see what pattern they provide... Also search google for pattern using the yarns you have.

[@JaydaInStitches]

Hi! Yes, I think it's going to wind up being trims and such lol.

[@marti7821]

The loop yarn is for finger knitting. We used it for baby blankets for tummy time.

[@janetmcnutt4994]

Your Bernat Gazoom would possibly work as edging and attach it with slip stitch. Or maybe use it as a swifter mop head.

[@karenfazio433]

with the pomper doodle tape a end of it to a curtain rod and make loops about 12 to 15 inches long and make a curtain topper

[@elimighty]

Thanks for your awesome tips. The pompom yarn turns out nice if you make a knitted pillow. It is very fluffy and soft for a pillow which is perfect. I think a 9mm or us size m/n 13 needles works great for this yarn. Thanks again

[@JaydaInStitches]

Hi! Thank you for the suggestion :)

[@pearlofthedarkage]

For the Gazoom, finish that hat and make matching mittens - then go to Antarctica! Visit penguins with something that toasty warm! For the pompoms, I'd double that yarn up with a thicker yarn and just use the two together.

[@JaydaInStitches]

* giggle * Thank you for the suggestion!

[@kathynace9838]

I’ve seen the loop yarn used to make a door wreath ... just wrapped around a foam base ... no stitching required

[@jayneborali8341]

I would try to make a fluffy carpet for the bathroom with the gazoom and pompadoodle yarns.

[@JaydaInStitches]

Hi Jayne, that would feel pretty cozy under foot!

[@TheWendellMonster]

That's funny I have some balls of yarn I purchased like that too and now I don't know what to do with them LOL !!! I also have leftover yarn from projects and it's not enough to do anything with. ,,,But I cannot throw it away yarn is to valuable ,I'm just going to hang on to it .,,,,I put all my scraps in a big bag and someday put all the scraps together and make a scrap Afghan👍 thank you Jayda your crochet friend Sue💕

[@JaydaInStitches]

Hi Sue! If all else fails, I'll definitely work some of these nicer-feeling odd balls into a scrapghan!

[@valferguson8322]

Hey Jayda., on the loopy yarn, I believe your supposed to crochet a certain amt of single crochet, go back into same stitch n putt it thru the loop n move on that way. Row by row till end then there’s a way to end the last row so it won’t come out, I can’t remember it. I think Crystal may know this one… try asking her… ❤️

[@offthehook4u]

Just a thought. Why not use the pomp a doodle yarn for a pillow. You could crochet the base fabric and use this as you would for a contrast design. Run this yarn across the top of your crochet and crochet around the back of the poms so they stick out on the front of the fabric. Sort of like when you are working a graph pattern using two different color yarns and you carry the unused yarn (the poms) along the top of the stitching till it is needed.

[@JaydaInStitches]

That would be really cute. Use the pom poms like you would add piping to a pillow edge!

[@TheSecondPartofLiving]

I loved the BOA yarn - I made scarves for everyone!!! But did not like eyelash yarn lol! I used the eyelash yarn as fibers for scrapbooking 😂😂

[@JaydaInStitches]

Hi LoriAnn, scrapbooking is a great use for some of these odd balls!

[@sharonmarks]

Some of your cool yarn could be used as trim around the ankles of footys or slipper socks. Just a thought...

[@JaydaInStitches]

Hi Sharon, especially the soft stuff, yes, that would be cute :)

[@crazyhawk59]

Jayda, Lion Brand has a loopy yarn like that Bernat loopy one. They have instructions on how to use it. No hook, fingers only. Very easy.

[@JaydaInStitches]

Hi Roseanne! I saw that Bernat just came out with the same thing (possibly the same product just reframed), I might give that loopy thing a try!

[@karenforte5674]

The only thing I can think of for some of those crazy yarns are pillows, trim, or bags. How about a shrug or slippers.

[@Hayidah12]

OMG YESSS I KNOW EXACTLY BOUT THAT YARN (the first one) SOME ONE GAVE ME THAT AND I don't have enough of each colour for anything! I have no idea what to do with it!!! All i know is its good for edgings

[@JaydaInStitches]

These get used in a lot of little edging projects LOL

[@pamelarobinson8770]

I'd love to see a cloche/fedora tutorial. thanks.

[@JaydaInStitches]

Thank you Pamela :)

[@julianaw6058]

Very nice. The only weird yarn I’ve encounter is bernat pipsqueak, which I made socks and pillows out of, and the loopy yarn, which I just cut the loops out of at just the right spot so that the loops disappeared, but the yarn wasn’t really cut. Thats a great idea for the suede, I wish I had some! But do you think you could do a tutorial on your crocheted fedoras? but not necessarily made with suede, but with any kind of yarn. I don’t know, just a thought.

[@kellienance5463]

The pom pom yarn I would use them as embellishments to the baby slippers.

[@queenpuabi827]

You can use pompledoodle as a soft buttons looking border around many quilt squares.

[@miaboxall]

I know what you could make with the bernat gazoom you could make a rug or a mat because I have one and it looks like that wool so maybe you could crochet it 😊

[@JaydaInStitches]

Hi Mia, I don't have enough of it for a run, at least, not if I crochet or knit...but I might be able to sew it all together and come up with a little, fluffy area rug that way!

[@miaboxall]

Jayda InStitches, cool😊 btw I love your channel and what you do its really good😄

[@snf1772]

My sister and i made floor rugs from the boa scarf yarn...so cuddly underfoot on my kitchen floor infront of stove while i cook x

[@JaydaInStitches]

oooh that's a cute (and cozy) idea! Thank you :)

[@7peacefrog]

I know what you mean (doubles) Mine was in 3 50 gal. totes until this week, my husband got me 2 shelvings at Walmart that have 8 cubbies in each and now I can see everything that I have so much better :)

[@JaydaInStitches]

Having all your yarn on display is both an awesome way to see what you have and it's SO PRETTY! I love decorating with balls of yarn LOL

[@marlenetapley1764]

OMG!!! I just pulled out 3 shopping bags of the boa/fun fur/and eyelash yarn :-) , thought I was the only one. Besides being easily tangled, it's much easier to knit with. What I've been doing with them and you can do with the pompom yarn, I would find either a contrasting solid color yarn or one in the same color and use it as one. The one where you have the 3 colors, I would match solids and make a blanket or throw simply garter stitch (using the grandma dishcloth pattern which works on the diagonally ) for a older little girl

[@JaydaInStitches]

Hi Marlene, those are some great ideas!

[@70gulum]

Pompom yarn makes baby blanket and also you can make nice pillow case as well

[@JaydaInStitches]

It would certainly be nice and soft!

[@irenemilner9492]

I made scarves for little girls with the pomp a doodle yarn super easy, soft and cute.

[@celebkiriedhel]

With the last two yarns, what might be easier is to make a mesh in a thin but normal yarn, and then slip stitch the fancy yarn to the mesh. I did this with a doll's jacket and it looks amazing.

[@JaydaInStitches]

Hi Kiri, that's a really neat suggestion, thank you!

[@NFPNFLA]

Helpful video, as usually. For the Pom Pom yarn, maybe some sort of wall hanging, using driftwood.

[@JaydaInStitches]

Hi Nancy, that's a neat idea!

[@kristinehubert5511]

I was given a bag of fun fur and I loved so much I made a couple scarfs with it. I think that yarn you were talking about that you made a hat out of that was wayyy to hot to wear I agree you should use that for trim on a blanket that would look awesome.

[@JaydaInStitches]

Hi Kristy, I thought I was going to melt LOL, definitely want to use it as trim for something to match my jacket :)

[@kristinehubert5511]

Yes lol it does look like it'll make you overheat 😂

[@heidicook2395]

Jada I would love to see a closure fedora hat pattern. Not necessarily and those Yarns. I'm legally blind and very light sensitive so I wear hats everywhere to protect my eyes from the lights. And a small brim is what I need so that it doesn't cover what that I can see. I hope you consider that. I love your videos!

[@JaydaInStitches]

Thank you for the suggestion Heidi!

[@carolynneubecker3000]

Crazy loopy yarn could be used for a crazy animal hair!!

[@cottagekeeper1044]

Great show! I have seen fun bunting or Christmas tree garland using these yarns:-)

[@JaydaInStitches]

That's a good idea, especially for the sparkly stuff :)

[@soztos152]

The suggestion I have for the crazy ball of yarn is make it into a crazy pompom!!

[@1995Conservative]

Appreciate your videos as always Jayda! Thank you! You really inspire me and my crafts!

[@JaydaInStitches]

Thank you for watching!

[@Defined4hispurpose]

The gazoom would be so adorable on a crocheted dolly or animal , animal hat of some sort.

[@julieannehoy4917]

I really enjoyed this video as I feel it gives me permission to buy yarn cause it's pretty or unusual and work out the project layer he he.

[@JaydaInStitches]

Hi Julie! I think if we look hard enough we can always find a purpose for that odd ball of yarn :) At least, that's what I tell myself LOL!

[@heatherreis7839]

I feel like that suede yarn would make up a perfect little bunny or teddy bear!

[@JaydaInStitches]

Hi Heather, I agree! It's got a lovely feel to it :)

[@heatherreis7839]

Jayda InStitches where did you find it at? Im thinking of making a velveteen rabbit with it

[@misszest86]

I think you could make a mop with the orange grey and white wool or a duster ☺️ x

[@JaydaInStitches]

Hi Zoe, it's funny that you should mention that, it's the same thing my mother-in-law said LOL she's done that and she said it works out really well!

[@misszest86]

Jayda InStitches or you could sew it up to make a bath mat for the bathroom?x

[@rosyaguilar9854]

I have most of this weird yarn as well!! I got it when I first started crocheting, Ill be honest haven't touched one of those balls yet, as i found it hard to crochet with that yarn

[@JaydaInStitches]

Hi Rosy, it can definitely take some getting use to lol!

[@kells2828]

Hi Jayda . Turn that orange , white and grey yarn , the one that has the loops on the bottom into Pom poms :)

[@JaydaInStitches]

Hi Kells, huh! That's a neat idea, I'll have to try that!

[@cheezypotato1456]

Love you Jayda! Could you teach us how to work borders into raw edges on afgans? It's something I can't quite figure out. Can't wait to see what you do next!

[@JaydaInStitches]

Hi Mandy, you might find our Fan Stitch Baby Blanket tutorial helpful for that, I go through working a simple single crochet foundation border stitch on to the raw edge of that blanket which is full of double crochets and ch-3s :) You'll find the that video here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/maXJhKiZfNKqedE

[@Fruitdelight123]

Yeah, I've got some to go nuts with : )

[@kimberlymurphy4034]

Jayda I just came across this video today...I was so hoping you had an odd ball of Red Heart sashay yarn...oh dear what to do with it!!!! I'm all scarfed out!!! Lol

[@JaydaInStitches]

Hi Kimberly! It's definitely a good one to use as little details on other projects: cuffs on stockings or slippers, embroidery on other projects; even used in card-making or scrapbooking!

[@melissasaylor]

The fun fur and eyelash yarn make a nice fur for stuffed animals. The other yarn that's red, white, and grey I would make a wreath with. Cover Christmas balls and attach to a wreath. The pom pom yarn I would make a striped throw with a few rows of solid yarn than 1 row of pom pom yarn.

[@JaydaInStitches]

Hi Melissa, those are some handy ideas :) The Gazoom is bright orange, white and grey, so it might suit my Halloween decor a little better * giggle *

[@TalesFromtheCraftRoom]

The blue multi thickness yarn I have had a couple different ones given to me. I have knitted both into ponchos. I just don't like the way they look crocheted. The pomp a doodle ...... would make a cute garland. Maybe crochet some stars or something and attach them in between the pompoms

[@JaydaInStitches]

Hi Anna, the garland idea is a really cute one, especially adding little extras in between!

[@autumnmiller9225]

My mom makes hair scrunchies and crochets around the top of flip flops with the eyelash and pom pom yarn. I am just learning to crochet, so I haven't messed with it yet, it looks too daunting! Lol

[@JaydaInStitches]

Those are some great uses for the weird balls of yarn! Especially the soft stuf :) It definitely takes a little getting used to, but some of it can be really fun to work with!

[@muyeonmijin8399]

the purple eyelash reminds me of christmas decoration 😂😂

[@JaydaInStitches]

It was a marketed as a holiday yarn (the tinsel makes it really festive!)

[@nancyoleksy]

I used the fun fir yarn for a wreath. Used a Styrofoam wreath form and just wrap the yarn around and around. Then add any embellishments you want. So just another idea.

[@JaydaInStitches]

That's a really neat idea too!

[@dreasmom2789]

Nancy Oleksy I found a fun Christmas wreaths on Pinterest it's actually the Grinch you use a styrofoam wreath.

[@janeclermon83]

I just went to Walmart today and got a fluffy type yarn and baby yarn and Lion Brand yarn and I even got a cake yarn it's one of the cake pop Yarns just thought to share that with you and also got some new crocheting hooks as well

[@JaydaInStitches]

Hi Jane! Sounds like a nice haul of crocheting goodies :)

[@letykitty2909]

Hello, Jayda🌹You have Beautiful yarn. I agree some yarn is difficult to crochet. You can make a nice scarf☺Blessings. Lety😺😘

[@JaydaInStitches]

Thank you Lety!

[@lisabalzrette1836]

I have weirdo ones as well. please do an eyelash yarn tutorials for anything, that would be awesome. I have strange tiny ostrich yarn that is so pretty. No idea what to do with it. I like to buy grab bags. at the thrift store and end up with a few odd lots :-) thanks have a good day!

[@JaydaInStitches]

Hi Lisa! I've definitely come by a few of these odd balls via thrift stores :) Thank you for the suggestion!

[@ZebraKitten]

Great video, thank you. I only started crocheting about 4 months ago and got loads to learn so found it very useful :-)

[@JaydaInStitches]

Oh that's great :) Glad we could help!

[@evareynolds2446]

The Gazoom yarn looks like the new LoopIt or Alize yarn. You just use your fingers to pull loops thru other loops.

[@lizolson4837]

I think the pompadoodle yarn would make interesting hanging strings for baby mobiles!

[@JaydaInStitches]

Hi Liz, that would certainly show off how cute it is :)

[@Hayidah12]

Wow the bernat Gazoom yarn is the same as the new red heart LOOP IT yarn!

[@JaydaInStitches]

Hi Hadiyah, it is! I was wondering if they just rebranded it?!

[@sluttypup654]

Jada the pompadoodle can be made onto scarves

[@anamakda4879]

Hi, Jayda. That crazy yarn that it is to hot to use, maybe you can use it for dusting! I would do the same with the Pom Pom yarn!!!

[@JaydaInStitches]

Hi Ana! It's so funny that you should mention using the Gazoom for dusting, that's what my mother-in-law suggested (she's done a few like that!) I think I'm going to give that a try :)

[@huntersun9]

Hi! Thank you for all the time and talent you share. I recently bought Bernat chenille in a soft brown and also cream thinking to make a cushy teddy bear. Unfortunately, I am having a terrible time seeing individual stitches and following a pattern accurately. Do you have any handy hints for dealing with such thick yarn? Thank you again! I love your creations and your spirit.

[@JaydaInStitches]

Hi Elisa, thank you for watching! We've used some of that blanket yarn recently on the show in a Big Fluffy Star pillow pattern! If you want to check out the video you can find it here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/paKydahmbLR5mrc You might find watching it get built into a project (along with some of the little things I say) helpful :)

[@melindalopez3452]

For that gazoom yarn u could make a sheep using the loop stich then cut the loops it looks like sheep wool or fur my grandma has done that once with a simular type of yarn 🐑

[@JaydaInStitches]

Hi Melinda, that's a cute idea! Thank you :)

[@lovemuzicloveit]

I LOVE weird yarn!!! I always find a way to use them . :))

[@JaydaInStitches]

No yarn gets wasted in my house LOL ;)

Hi Jayda👋🏿 Maybe pet beds for the non fluffy yarn? Stuffing is a great idea m, especially if you've had the yarn for yrs and need stuffing now.

[@JaydaInStitches]

Hi Wendelyn, pet beds are a fun idea! I end up using a lot of little left overs for stuffing little toys and it works out nicely :)

I just checked KZbin and their are a couple tutorials with the Poom a doodle yarn. I always check KZbin for ideas.

[@janetmcnutt4994]

I have used the eye lash with 4 ply yarn together and made a scarf. Its hard to see your stitches without using a regular yarn as 2 strands.

[@HotaruTomoe0106]

I have some yarn similar to the Bernat Gazoo that you have. It consists of a long strand with loops running along it. It feels like it could be a roving type texture, but I don't think it's wool since it didn't pass my burn test. Anyways, I didn't notice the loopy texture of it until I got home, and I didn't particularly like it. So, I carefully removed the string holding the loops together, and now it's just one continuous strand without all of the loops.

[@JaydaInStitches]

Wow! I might try that on a sample of the Gazoom and see what happens! I really love the colours so I am motivated to use this yarn for something to go with my ski jacket :)

[@HotaruTomoe0106]

It may work, but it also looks like the chenille texture of it might make it tricky to pull off. I'd still try it, though. I'd like to know how it goes. xD

I think the pom pom yarn could make a small furry knit rug for in a bedroom, it looks very soft and warm

[@JaydaInStitches]

That would definitely feel nice and soft under foot :)

[@carlenebraithwaite8391]

Gazoom looks like the loop yarns out now for “knitting” without hooks.

[@JaydaInStitches]

It does! I wonder if it's actually the same thing, rebranded? I should give it a try....

[@mariakristinahawl1640]

for the GA ZOOM yarn, maybe you could make a duster or swiffer-like cloths to dust around the house? or use them on the bottoms of slippers that you can walk around and sweep your floors with! LOL

[@ingeregeling943]

that would make cleaning so much more fun!

[@JaydaInStitches]

Hi Maria, funny you should mention that, my mother-in-law said the same thing :) She's made a few covers for her swiffer out of that stuff and says they're great!

[@MDunn-sm6ud]

The Gazoom. would be great for hair for dolls of any sort.

[@JaydaInStitches]

Hi Michelle, that would be some wild hair! :)

[@laurareese3389]

When I just want something to do with my hands and don't feel like working on any of my projects I just grab some of my bonus yarn. Lol ( left overs or crazy stuff ) and start making yoyos. Then when I fet enough I plan to make a blanket. It will be a mix of colors and textures.

[@JaydaInStitches]

Hi Laura, that's a really great use of left over and strange yarn!

[@RainCheck797]

I am making a steam punk top hat with the suede yarn and its working well

[@JaydaInStitches]

Hi Alyssa, that is a perfect application for the suede! It's so stiff and cool-feeling, that's going to be a really cool hat!

[@abigail9326]

Thank you for the ideas jayda- it's good to know that not only I have weird balls of yarn :P

[@JaydaInStitches]

Lol, I find there are some skeins that I've been staring at for years now and I really want to use up!

[@gloriajames2248]

[@gloriajames2248]
