Most knitters end up with leftovers and odd balls of yarn leftover from other projects, or picked up because they like the colour, or can’t resist a bargain, or dyed something the wrong colour or, or, or…. OK, lets just look at it this way. Most knitters have a load of what is reasonably decent yarn, that they don’t have a clue what to do with, because there isn’t enough of any particular yarn to do anything with. They are also likely to have more yarn in one thickness than another. For many of us, this is dk/aran weight.

There is however a use for this yarn, apart from gathering dust or possibly going into the under stairs cupboard until it becomes a mouse nest. This is a stash busting blanket.
