Knitting & Crocheting

Converting Fleece Into 'Yarn'

21 years ago

I just posted a thread over at the Sewing Forum about converting "fleece" yardgoods into yarn. Thought some knitters/crocheters here would be interested. It sounds pretty labor intensive, but if you have a stash of fleece that you have decided to NOT use for sewing, it may be a good way to use it up - LOL!!

This was primarily a suggestion on how to use up some of that fleece bought in a "fleece-sale buying-frenzy mode" [Fleece: Just $4.98 a yard!!!] that looked good at the time, but after washing it a couple times, you discover that it really was cheap fleece and not really material you'd want to use to make a gift.

Do you think this would work with crochet or would it be too heavy?
