When I said I would make the next yarn rug with all my leftover scraps, I really meant it. I dug through all my totes and used up what I had. If it didn't have enough yarn on the ball to go across one time, it was rolled up and put into a bag with even smaller scraps of yarn (to use for other projects).
I even used two strands of variegated this time (vs. one solid and one variegated color). It really is an "anything goes" rug.
Over the years I have crocheted dozens and dozens of crocheted and knitted dishcloths, and many sets of pot holders. The leftovers simply were put in bags for a future project. To be honest, I am glad I kept them all.

The final rug.....ta da!
Hubby told me it's a bit "hippy" and wanted it displayed on the quilt rack (vs. actually using it). This got rave reviews with the kids, and now one kiddo wants one. These are heavy duty, but will slip around on smooth surfaces. I may need to put a piece of non-slip rug gripper under this one.
Update: I found a possible store to sell these at. I am researching what I need (tax I.D., etc) to do it, and of course, I need many rugs made to do it.

Very cool rug!! Good luck with your business venture :)
And think how easily you could coordinate a room by using the same colors (and even materials) for the rugs that you'd used for a coverlet or quilt, curtains or drapes.
Good luck with this Kristina!!!
God bless.
