The clue is in the name for this one, it’s a real stash buster! Designed to be super simple and super quick. Worked on 5.5mm needles it’s perfect for holding two strands of 4ply together to help you use up all those annoying ends of skeins, of course you can use any other yarn combinations that meeting the gauge. A DK with mohair or a single strand of Aran weight should do the job too. Go wild with this one, marl colours together, and contrasting straps, fade, whatever you like.
