What can you do with the extra wool

I have do many balls of wool that I don’t know what to do. They are different colours and types. Can I make a simple throw, scarf or something like patch work ,
Please give me some ideas I want to use all these leftover wools. I am just a beginner so need help with simple patterns or ideas.

I’ve used all different weights and random colors to make a long scarf knit lengthwise. You don’t even have to weave in the ends. You can use them as fringe.
Similar to these:

I used mostly stockinette and reverse stockinette but you can vary the pattern stitch any way you’d like. Thinner weight yarn can be doubled if necessary.

There are lots of ideas to be found if you Google scrap yarn blanket or sweater.
My son would love a scrap yarn sweater, the more colours and textures the better. It depends what you like, I wouldn’t want a multicolour top but that’s me.

I made some can cosies and jar cosies with scrap and planted them up for the play room, colourful stripes and also tried out some new stitches I hadn’t done before. My very first one or two were not all that successful whilst I worked out sizes etc but I got it right in the end and I think it was a good learning experience for a beginner knitter like me.
My son planted some up for his teacher gifts too.

Thank you do very much your tips were very helpful

There is a church in the town where I live that takes yarn donations. Their women’s craft group makes all kinds of things that they sell and then give the $$ to local charities!!!

Check in your town to see if u can find a craft group that could use your leftovers!!!
