  1. I have been knitting and crocheting for over 50 years and I have NEVER put a knot in my yarn. Always start a new ball by weaving in ends….a knot (no matter how it’s made) can come untied over time.

  2. I ‘fuse’ wool yarn by splicing old end and new end about 2 inches, then wetting my free palm and vigorously rubbing back and forth until fused. Makes a continuous strand.

  3. I knot the ends but leave the tails of the knot long, then weave in those ends, along with any other ends, when work is finished. Hate when u find knots in a new skein, & they’ve cut the ends real short, so they poke out of your work & make it look less finished!

    1. I agree! I have had that experience even with expensive silk yarns that are supposed to work like filagree lace. I wish they would mark the skeins whole, and maybe discount the skeins they had to piece together.
