The Treasure Chest: October 2017

One of the best things about shopping at Goodwill stores is all of the unique one of a kind items you can find. But what about the one-of skeins of yarn that you can find on our shelves? If you are a crocheter or knitter, you probably have some projects and patterns in mind that you can create with just one skein. (We pinned a few ideas here on our Pinterest page - Goodwill Style)

Well, we have rounded up other pretty special ideas to use those skeins that will take you beyond crocheting or knitting.

First up is wrapping a bottle. This is a simple and satisfying afternoon craft. SOURCE
