Make a Drop Spindle

Yarn Balls

Adding some splashes of color to your winter is as easy as creating some airy "yarn balls" to place in a basket or simply arrange on the table.

Sally Reese explains the easy process on P&G everyday.

No need to purchase an expensive niddy noddy when you can make one from simple PVC pipe and connections for less than $6.

Ballard Flicka gives measurements for an interchangeable niddy noddy to make hanks from one yard to two meters. The site also gives directions on how to use the niddy noddy to make hanks.

DIY Laundry Color Catchers

While commercial color catcher products are available, you may prefer to make your own after reading the post on One Good Thing.

Color catchers are useful in everyday loads of laundry with "mystery" fabrics that look like the colors may bleed or when washing items like quilts with a mixture of many dark colors like purple, red, blue, combined with white.

They also work when laundering knit or crocheted items - by hand or in a machine.

** I've only used manufactured color catchers, so I don't know if the DIY ones work as well.
