If you've ever wondered what a magic yarn ball is, you'll be happy to know they are the best way to use up your scrap yarn, so you can make scrap projects with no ends to weave in.

You can arrange them in a colour order if you want!
Remember to try to stick to similar weight yarns and group the same fibres together too - this will allow you to block your project easily without any challenges/
There are a number of different techniques to join your yarns:
I LOVE the quick knot - as it means you can keep on rolling up the ball without much interruption.
You can use your yarn winder to get the ball started or simply begin rolling your ball around your fingers - knotting on the next yarn when you reach the end.
It gets quite large quite quickly
If you have concerns about the tails coming undone, you can leave then attached - I'm very confident that neither the Quick knot or the Magic knot will come undone and trim as I go.

Or simply keep that magic ball close by to keep adding to it each time you finish a project.
I would love to know if you'll be using this technique to make the most of your scrap yarn and create your own magic ball!
