Random Quick Tip!

Latch Hook Rug Making From Scraps
If you are into rug making, you could use your ends as rug pieces. Use your latch hook and get some blank canvas and everytime you finish a project with worsted weight yarn, put the pieces right into the rug canvas as you get them. You can trim them to the right length after they are added to your rug. What a fun rug you would have after you are done!
