I have been knitting predominantly with wool and alpaca yarns lately. It occurred to me that I do not have to throw away all those little scraps of yarn because they will felt. So, I started collecting a pile of loose yarn scraps to make into little felt balls. They can become beads, cat toys, buttons, or whatever you like.

The disks between the felt balls are buttons.
To thread the felt balls, I used a long sharp threaded needle such as a yarn darner and used leftover yarn.

I've used it to make a few balls of cat fur - making a whole necklace of just cat fur will take a while but so far so good. :)
Other than cat/dog/rabbit fur, you could make a big felted ball for a cat toy too with that same technique.
