What was I thinking

I have a bunch of yarn that I bought when I was first starting to learn to weave and now that I know a little bit more when I look at it I think to myself “What was I thinking”.

I have 5 cones of rayon chenille that I don’t know if I will ever use. The yarn is so slippery that I cant really use it for anything but plain weave and right now I am kind of over plain weave.

Yarn Cones

So I sit and stare at my cones of yarn and think WOW I can’t believe I spent money on these. I think this happens A LOT the problems is that I was so over excited by the great deal that I was getting on the yarn I did not think or even really know (At the
time) if could I use it.

I also have 3 cones of linen for making a rug that I don’t know if I will ever get around to making. At least I like the material and I think I will someday be able to do something with it unlike my rayon cones which just stare and me and say “What Were You Thinking”, but at least with these cones I think I will be able to use them at some time in the future.

I might sound like I am being rough but I think its a good lesson that I NEVER seam to learn. When I get excited about something new I will go out and buy A LOT of stuff for it before I even know if or how to use it. So now I have 5 cones of yarn that I will never use and need to get rid of

Want to sell it? I’d like to try weaving with that yarn on my TriLoom.

Try yarn swap at your local weaving guild - that’s how I got some really cool stuff that I’ll probably never use. Or sell on ebay.
