7 Creative Crafts With Wool

There's no greater feeling of accomplishment than making something yourself. Plus, it's tons of fun! From knitting novices to sewing masters, there's something for everyone here. So go ahead and brighten up your home and wardrobe with these 7 great ideas for knitting, crocheting, and crafting.

1. Scarf

It may be summer, but that doesn't means you can't get a head-start on making your very own scarf for the colder months that are yet to come. And there's nothing better than a cozy, handmade scarf just like the one grandma used to make. Even if you don't know how to knit, you can still make your own unique creations with a simple, old-fashioned technique. Learn more here.

2. Fluffy Bobble Rug

Getting up on the wrong side of the bed is annoying enough, but having to tread on cold floorboards in your bare feet just makes everything worse. The good news is that there is a solution (at least to the cold floor problem). With some colorful yarn and two cardboard toilet paper rolls, you can make sure that the next time you get out of bed you have a soft landing. Learn more here.

3. Poncho

Ponchos are the perfect garment for unpredictable days – they keep you warm in case the temperatures drop, but they're also airy enough to prevent sweating. Furthermore, it's easy to slip on — something children particularly appreciate! Above all, they look great, and crocheting  is the perfect counterweight to the stresses of everyday life. It's relaxing, improves your concentration, and gives you a great sense of achievement! Learn more here.

4. – 6. Bracelet, Coaster & Necklace

Knitting isn't just restricted to clothing – you can also make jewelry and practical home items with it. After all, a little bit of yarn can go a long way! Learn more here.

7. Blanket

Nothing beats a nice, cozy blanket to snuggle up with – no matter what time of year its is! Once you're done, you can dive straight under your new XXL knitted blanket to read a novel or take a well-earned nap. Learn more here.
