More uses for recycled yarn

A couple years ago I bought a small rigid heddle loom.  I've made placemats, coasters, table runners, dish towels, scarves and a wrap.  The problem with a loom is that it can take a lot of yarn if you are making something big.  Recycled yarn is great for this.  I made a set of placemats and matching coasters from one sweater.  The cool thing is that the sweater was striped and so when I warped the loom, there were color variations from the yarn.  So you don't have to try and match colors because it's already done for you.  A thrift store sweater is cheap and the finished product was awesome.
