It will be big enough for my bed on a cold winter's night. My scrap wool yarn is currently being saved to make rugs. Lets face it. It would be warm and durable, but too expensive to buy for this purpose. Using them this way will take them from scrap to a pampering treat!!! Also, it realy doesn't matter if the weights are the same with a rug, as you hold several strands together at once. You can even it out by choosing carefully which weights you mix!!!<br /><br />Many blessings,<br /><br />KTktquiltshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02934371770831330403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5541488844616624304.post-43141922351049870802009-09-24T20:46:00.560-04:002009-09-24T20:46:00.560-04:00I do the same as Shelly, make a crazy Afghan.

I love the look and feel of them and they don't cost anything.

Couching just means you stitch them to the fabric (or quilt) with a zig-zag stitch or other decorative stitch that crosses over the yarn to catch and hold it in place. This is a good project to play with lots of decorative stitches if you own a machine that has some you don't know what to do with. Maybe I'll play with that some today and show you some possibilities. Stop over to my blog in a day or two and see what I come up with: http://sewartfullyminded.blogspot.com/Doreen Baroshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11861306539888570360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5541488844616624304.post-26649065052225480642009-09-24T12:38:33.426-04:002009-09-24T12:38:33.426-04:00I knit or crochet them up into squares, and then j...I knit or crochet them up into squares, and then join all the squares together for a crazy afghan.
