Question for people who do embroidery or other fibre arts: When is a rest of yarn so short you consider it useless and throw it away?

Another finished project. Freeform crochet inspired by dragons - 7 large dragons eyes and a couple of nostrils in there and lots of patches of crocodile stitch. Now hiding my tatty but comfortable conservatory chair!

Finished it all today, with some small breaks. And this is why I need to get more #Embroidery floss soon. Visible mending. 😅
While I only needed to mend a small part I decided to do it all along the edge for future strengthening!
Oh, I also got to practice how to switch thread 2 times, and make it secure and I think I did pretty good, I made some doubles on the top but it looks quite neat.
The very edge where I switched from one thread to another, basically I slid in hidden thread, doubled one stitch and back threaded across the top the old thread to secure it. The new one binds itself in immediately. It's only double thread for 2 stitches on the top.
A quarter of the heating pad, showing of the green blanket stich all the way around the red edge of the otherwise white pad.
Closeup of where I've used a yellow tacking thread together with a fabric glue stick for attaching the edging and stitching it in place so it doesn't move around when mending. Both washes out, and this heatpad is washable
Start of mending, Green embroidery floss with blanket stitches around the edge of my heatpad, which has a red edging that needs to be repaired as some of the stitches had started to break
This is a recent custom crochet Kids',Drawing Toy for a wee girl. His name is Tangy, and doesn't he just look delicious! So clever of her 😊

This is a photo of the crochet version of the child's drawing standing on an owl bean bag next to a red wall. In the crochet version the label with the name Tangy is draped over the right arm as it is left loose so the child can remove it if she wants to.
A child's drawing of a creature with a triangular body that looks like it has been stitched together. The left side is yellow with green stitching and the right side is green, also with green stitching, apart from the green right arm, which has yellow stitching it has a round nose, also divided in the middle with yellow on the left and green on the right, and two round black eyes. It has a yellow left arm and leg and a green right arm and leg, but in the head the left ear is green and the right yellow with an orange outline. It has a green X at the bottom of its torso and a white label with its name - Tangy- in black on the lower right hand side.
