I'm going to be making one of these when I get back from my trip. I'll send you a pic. You inspired me because I have shit tons of weird yarn I don't know what to do with 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Homespun is not one of my favorites but it can be useful for a project when I need to combine skeins of donated yarn. The direction you wrap your yarn is opposite of the way I wrap mine. Except that when you double wrap the yarn, you wrap two different directions. Now I'm eager to try your design to see if mine finished blanket looks very different. My homespun yarn is in storage so I need to retrieve it. I'm pretty sure the magic knit is just another way of tying a square knot which is also very secure.
I left my tree up till after valentines before. The rule is when the ornaments, are falling off the dry tree take it down. No lights after it gets dry tho. With an artificial tree it is till the cats are daring to steal ornaments and climb it. The first time I watched you was when you showed the big stack of scraptastic blankets . They are pretty awesome!
Just want you to know, I love your videos and humour you put into them and I've no idea why or how your not bigger than bag o day!!!! I watch a LOT of channels and yours is the best!!!... You put time, effort and your easy to listen too and your fresh and trendy with your tutorials Keep up the good work and thanks for great viewing!!🤗😀🥰🧶🧶🧶🧶🧶
Omg I just found this video and is the perfect solution for my 6 balls sitting since two years I was not able to do anything but this tutorial will make your beautiful scrapghan ❤
I just finished a shrug made from Loops & Threads Madrid with cuffs and border from Homespun yarn. Because the Madrid is a self-striping yarn, I kind of had trouble selecting a solid that would coordinate. I had doubts about the Homespun until I had finished the first cuff, but I love the finished result. I used a Susan Bates Crystal Lite hook and it worked nicely. 😃
Hi Ginger! I actually like homespun yarn lol , I am thrilled you like the hooks, it was a real joy to gift them to you! You are so talented! I can't wait to start one of these blankets!!
I have two WIP to finish before I can start a scraptastic Blanket. Looks like fun and I have soooooo many skeins of yarn to use up. Thank you! And a scrap basket!!
A while back I bought Homespun yarn in cakes which has 4 different colours which also helps in colour change and less knots I love it for my blankets 😀
Beautiful blanket! I love scrapghans! Like seriously no yarn is ever wasted and they are such a unique artwork. No two the same. Perfect beginner project. 😃
I have a friend who keeps her tree 🌲 up all year round without ornaments after Christmas though. She says it makes her happy so why not like you said L͏i͏f͏e is short so what makes you happy!
Now there's a plan for the Homespun in my stash. Thanks Ginger, and thanks also for showing the magic knot. It seems that the time needed to crochet a project s not multiplied by the number of strands we use...but it grows a lot faster. What a deal!
I have a lot of homespun. I did knit a blanket a long time ago. I also made a sweater it’s very heavy. I went up in my attic and got it down. I did 100 stitches with a p hook 1 strand of homespun 1 strand of worsted weight. I’m doing 5 rows and changing colors. I have a bunch of a variegated green I may change the worsted weight every 5 rows in another one
I enjoy working with homespun . I crocheted beautiful Christmas stockings this past Christmas with it. You can pair a strand of yarn with sparkle in it and it looks awesome! You're great at doing tutorials. Thanks 💕
I was in need of this , I made one skein scarfs of homespun but had some of each leftover . Perfect for at least 2 rows. Now seeing it worked up , it’s on my list! Thank you!
I love your scraptastic Homespun and I can see the squish!! This is exactly what I need for the tote full of miscellaneous Homespun that I found at a garage sale! PS: As long as your Christmas tree brings you joy, don't worry about the date, Ginger!
It takes approx 6-7 seven ounce skeins of Red Heart Super Saver 4 weight yarn to make a throw size afghan. (50"x60") It depends on the stitch used and the tension. I base this on personal experience and uses of lots of Red Heart yarn. There are similar yarns that are compatible.
Love the blanket. I've never used homespun b4. I have a cardi pattern I won that uses it but I've been afraid of it bc of all that I heard about it lol. Will give a try at some point.
Thanks for this. I’m a new subscriber. I don’t know what’s wrong with seeing your eyes! I don’t get it. I love the blanket with the grey dominating. It’s so pretty.
I don’t understand the issues with Homespun. It just takes some finagling to get used to the texture. Also after a certain number of blankets the household can only use so many so I donate yarn to Goodwill that way others can also have fun using nice yarns and who knows? Maybe they make scrappy blankets too ☺️
I can crochet with anything. I have used very fine tread to rope. It's not that Homespun is anything special for me, I just don't know what to make with it. It's a little pricey to buy enough to make something big.
Hi Camper! Definitely try mixing it with another Yarn..... it's a game changer! Also, there's no reason for my workings on my stitches. It's just how I crochet 🤪. They are just regular hdc, so just do it however it feels comfortable to you.😊
I don't think I've ever seen someone wrap their yarn that way on their chain stitches. It's always been done from the right, across the front, not the left. Great tutorial though.
I am working with homespun right now and I haven’t had trouble with it, o have been using a size 7 hook from clover (the hook part is not metal) which glides through the hook very well! I totally agree I would not use any hook under 7 in my opinion! It does look great when worked up I love it
I usually just throw them in the washer and dryer on low heat settings. The Yarn I use is mostly acrylic, so I have never had a problem washing them this way. I hope this helps!😊
Love that! Could I use a DC instead! HDCs always hurt my wrist. 😕 Just finished a shawl using two strands of yarn. I don't care for a three weight, so I mixed it with a four and used a 9mm hook.
I've never see yarnovers like that. Mixing yarn from the back and yarning from the front. So glad I'm not a beginner cuz your tutorial would confuse me.
I have a humongous amount of a pastel Homespun that I want to try a blanket like yours. Is the scrap blanket crochet with another yarn still makes the Homespun very fluffy with all the flyaways that are so bothersome? Thanks
I get frustrated with the texture because I can't see the stitches, so I just go for it, feel and hope for the best, but because of that texture it is a very forgiving yarn.
Good Morning, Elaine! Nope, that is the awesome thing about scraptastic blankets..... you can use whatever you want. I just use the one color all the way through for one of the stands because I like doing that way. When I can. 🥰
Just watching your videos now (2023). Thank you for explaining and showing how you make the Scrapghans/blankets. So pretty!
I'm going to be making one of these when I get back from my trip. I'll send you a pic. You inspired me because I have shit tons of weird yarn I don't know what to do with 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I absolutely love working with homespun yarn ❤❤❤
Years ago homespun was the only yarn I would ever crochet with I have made so many things with it

I made a 8ft scarf out of the Homespun yarn a few years back. I was having so much fun with it, i did not want to stop
I love the yarn pairing. I've never done that before.
Your so adorable!and funny also!
i made my grandson a blanket out of homespun and we love it... its like a weighted blanket
I used the Homespun and made a hat it was beautiful.
I love homespun yarn!! Liked it better when there were more options, but I love it. I use an H or I hook and rarely have problems.
I adore your humor!
Omg I just found this video and is the perfect solution for my 6 balls sitting since two years I was not able to do anything but this tutorial will make your beautiful scrapghan ❤
Hi Andrea….Yay!! I have used up so much of my extra yarn this way!🥰
I love the magic knot. I use it all the time!!
I just finished a shrug made from Loops & Threads Madrid with cuffs and border from Homespun yarn. Because the Madrid is a self-striping yarn, I kind of had trouble selecting a solid that would coordinate. I had doubts about the Homespun until I had finished the first cuff, but I love the finished result. I used a Susan Bates Crystal Lite hook and it worked nicely. 😃
That’s a really pretty blanket, Ginger. Also I loved the 2000 years later!!! Thanks for sharing!!! Have a good night!!!

What we do in. New Orleans is put purple green and gold decorations on our Christmas trees for Marci Gras. We take them down after Mardi Gras is over
A while back I bought Homespun yarn in cakes which has 4 different colours which also helps in colour change and less knots I love it for my blankets 😀
Beautiful blanket! I love scrapghans! Like seriously no yarn is ever wasted and they are such a unique artwork. No two the same. Perfect beginner project. 😃
I don't have homespun yarn but I do have a lot of scrape yarn, so this looks like my next project. Thanks for the idea
I have a friend who keeps her tree 🌲 up all year round without ornaments after Christmas though. She says it makes her happy so why not like you said L͏i͏f͏e is short so what makes you happy!
I have assorted Homespun. I may try this. I say all colors go together. Ever hear a box of crayons arguing?
Love your tutorial. I just found your channel. .So glad I did.😊❤
Just stopping by to say Hi Ginger! Great scrap blanket. Thank you for walking us through it. Take care.
Now there's a plan for the Homespun in my stash. Thanks Ginger, and thanks also for showing the magic knot. It seems that the time needed to crochet a project s not multiplied by the number of strands we use...but it grows a lot faster. What a deal!
Homespun is what I first started back crocheting with. I still have a bunch of it. Great blanket!
I have a lot of homespun. I did knit a blanket a long time ago. I also made a sweater it’s very heavy.
I went up in my attic and got it down. I did 100 stitches with a p hook 1 strand of homespun 1 strand of worsted weight. I’m doing 5 rows and changing colors. I have a bunch of a variegated green I may change the worsted weight every 5 rows in another one
Love Homespun. Making hooded ponchos, in different colors. You inspired an idea of what i can do w/the scraps. 😚 thank you Ginger
I enjoy working with homespun . I crocheted beautiful Christmas stockings this past Christmas with it. You can pair a strand of yarn with sparkle in it and it looks awesome!
You're great at doing tutorials. Thanks 💕
I did that same thing recently. Very relaxing since I’ve doubled it with another yarn.
I love homespun! Beautiful blanket!!
Omg, girl how many scrap blankets you done already, would like to know.😁
Very nice Ginger thank you for sharing! Your scrapghan looks great, beautiful! Great idea on pairing it with another yarn 🧶
I was in need of this , I made one skein scarfs of homespun but had some of each leftover . Perfect for at least 2 rows. Now seeing it worked up , it’s on my list! Thank you!
Thank you for the great idea for a scraptastic bkanket. Bet it will be nice and warm.
Hello Ginger!! This looks so warm and so cozy. I love all the different colors. It kind of looks marbled or marled. TFS
Happy Crocheting and God Bless
Love Homespun yarn!
I understood the entire stitching.. thank you so much.. I'm a newbie
I love your scraptastic Homespun and I can see the squish!! This is exactly what I need for the tote full of miscellaneous Homespun that I found at a garage sale! PS: As long as your Christmas tree brings you joy, don't worry about the date, Ginger!
Love the homespun scrap yarn blanket.
I just love Homespun yarn! Thanks for this project. 😍
Love this concept. Very creative!
Its a beautiful blanket I need to use up my scrap yarn to lol
Thank You Ginger, love your scraptastic blanket!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Get'er done! Great video! Thanks for sharing!
What a lovely blanket. I can just imagine a lovely wood fire and sitting wrapped in your blanket.
It takes approx 6-7 seven ounce skeins of Red Heart Super Saver 4 weight yarn to make a throw size afghan. (50"x60") It depends on the stitch used and the tension.
I base this on personal experience and uses of lots of Red Heart yarn. There are similar yarns that are compatible.
Love this! Good way to use up my yarn stash, if I could keep my Chrismas tree up year round I would, I think it's the lights that do it for me
You are just amaZing 🤩 Ginger!!!
That is beautiful! Thank you for sharing your method! Enjoy your 🌳.
Beautiful blanket! Love the yarn, too! Great video!!! ⚓️😁💙
Thank-you, OlaJoe!!🥰🥰🥰
@@theYarnGeek you’re very welcome ☺️
Lovely
Awesome hook. Thank you for sharing. Your Scraptastic blankets are awesome.
Love the blanket. I've never used homespun b4. I have a cardi pattern I won that uses it but I've been afraid of it bc of all that I heard about it lol. Will give a try at some point.
What a beautiful blanket! 🧶 Thanks for sharing. 😀
Great Video! Im so excited to make one of these!! Thanks bunches, Ginger!! xx :D
Thank-you so much! They are super addictive! 🤩
Great tutorial.
I give them away as 🎁 presents...lap/afghan throws.
Thanks for this. I’m a new subscriber. I don’t know what’s wrong with seeing your eyes! I don’t get it. I love the blanket with the grey dominating. It’s so pretty.

Thanks for the great tutorial!!
💚😊💚😊
Thank you!! Love love your videos!!
I was ready to toss my homespun stash. You saved the day.
Yay!!! Zenobia, that makes me sooooooo happy!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🥰
Great video. Love scrap blankets. ❤️
I Math so hard I turned to Crochet! Art + Math = Crochet, lol
I do not like working with homespun. Mixing it might help. Is there a reason for mixing up chaining over and going across on the same stitch?
Hi Camper! Definitely try mixing it with another Yarn..... it's a game changer! Also, there's no reason for my workings on my stitches. It's just how I crochet 🤪. They are just regular hdc, so just do it however it feels comfortable to you.😊
Glad you turned down music. Thanks
Pretty awesome what scrap yarns can make.
I don't think I've ever seen someone wrap their yarn that way on their chain stitches. It's always been done from the right, across the front, not the left. Great tutorial though.
LOVE!💕⭐️👍🏻
😊I have never liked homespun yarn but you may have changed that! Great tutorial with ideas for me to use.
Yay!! Thanks for telling me - I love knowing that I am helping you all love your yarns more!!💕❤️
Love your blanket it’s gorgeous!
Thank-you, Dina!🥰
I tried knitting with Homespun and found out really quickly that only a plain pattern would work!
I am working with homespun right now and I haven’t had trouble with it, o have been using a size 7 hook from clover (the hook part is not metal) which glides through the hook very well! I totally agree I would not use any hook under 7 in my opinion! It does look great when worked up I love it
How do you wash and dry your scraptastic blankets
I usually just throw them in the washer and dryer on low heat settings. The Yarn I use is mostly acrylic, so I have never had a problem washing them this way. I hope this helps!😊
Love it thank you for sharing
thank you!
Love that! Could I use a DC instead! HDCs always hurt my wrist. 😕
Just finished a shawl using two strands of yarn. I don't care for a three weight, so I mixed it with a four and used a 9mm hook.
That's a very pretty blanket! What crochet hook is that? It's beautiful and looks so smooth and balanced.
I've never see yarnovers like that. Mixing yarn from the back and yarning from the front. So glad I'm not a beginner cuz your tutorial would confuse me.
Does it make a difference to the texture of the blanket if you bring the yarn over from the back to front and then twice from front to back over hook?
I love the way you edit, do you mind me asking what editing software you use?
Thanks!😄 I use the InShot app and I do all of my editing on my phone. It is super easy and there are so many things you can do with it!
I have a humongous amount of a pastel Homespun that I want to try a blanket like yours. Is the scrap blanket crochet with another yarn still makes the Homespun very fluffy with all the flyaways that are so bothersome? Thanks
I get frustrated with the texture because I can't see the stitches, so I just go for it, feel and hope for the best, but because of that texture it is a very forgiving yarn.
Morning Ginger: Do I have to have 2000 yds of 1 color? Can’t I just use scraps
Good Morning, Elaine! Nope, that is the awesome thing about scraptastic blankets..... you can use whatever you want. I just use the one color all the way through for one of the stands because I like doing that way. When I can. 🥰
Добрый вечер.Скажите пожалуйста как называется красная пряжа? Спасибо заранее.
I think you mean boucle yarn...
What size hook?
I dont like homespun it's hard for me to see it
I never use that.kind of.yarn
You can make this with any kind of yarn! It's so much fun!🥰
Hold the phone - why is your yarn over two different motions?? 🧐 You wrap differently depending on whether or not you’ve worked into the stitch?? 🤨
I noticed the same thing.
Cut the music so we can hear you! Thank you…
Sorry about that😢
