How to Reduce Yarn Waste: Meet the Scrappi Wristlet Keychain

How to Reduce Yarn Waste: Meet the Scrappi Wristlet Keychain

If you’re a crocheter (or just a yarn lover), you know how quickly those yarn scraps pile up. The small balls left after finishing a project, those tiny leftover strands you just can’t throw away — they add up fast! I didn’t want to keep tossing them, so I started saving them: little bits of color, texture, and leftover joy from past projects. And now, they’ve found a new life as the Scrappi Wristlet Keychain!

Why Yarn Waste Matters

Textile waste is a huge contributor to landfill clutter and environmental strain, and while yarn scraps might feel small, over time they add up. I believe every small effort to reduce waste makes a difference, which is why I try to find creative ways to use up every last bit of yarn in my studio.

The Idea Behind Scrappi Wristlets

The Scrappi Wristlet Keychain was born from this zero-waste mindset. Each wristlet is crocheted using leftover yarn scraps from previous projects, giving those bits and pieces a second chance to become something useful. Every wristlet is completely unique, a mystery color mix of the yarns I’ve used across my collections. It’s a fun surprise for you and a sustainable practice for me.

Why You’ll Love Them
