How To Join Yarn In Crochet Without A Knot
The video was not for show pity
I use a Russian join works well with most yarn, does make it a bit thicker but less ends to sort out later
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!
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.
Same. Tired of this happening.
