I was given a big box of leftover embroidery thread and I have been using it learning to make temari balls. They are made by wrapping yarn and then thinner and thinner thread around a core until it forms a ball, dividing the ball and marking it with thread and finally stitching geometric designs over the markings. I am still very much a beginner but these are really fun to make.

What a fun way to use leftover thread!! How did you learn about this? How are you choosing to display it?

I saw an article about them a long time ago on this is colossal and it really made me want to learn how to make one.

Thank you for the new craft rabbit hole. I've been using my spare bits of string for darning but this looks more fun.
