Creating Bulky Yarn from One Light Weight Skein

Did you know ONE skein of yarn can be turned into a BULKY yarn?! Yep, I just said it and it's true, bulky yarn from 1 skein. And if a pattern calls for three strands held together, you do not need three balls of yarn. Simply use one ball of yarn and work with three strands. Does it sound impossible? Take a look at the video below to learn how to triple yarn.

As a beginner to knitting and crochet, this is awesome….I bought yarn that I loved the color of but when I tried to crochet/knit with it, it was so difficult… definitely going to give this a try!

[@kestrelguyon1626]

Im here for the same reason.. bought some yarn for the colour not realizing that such a small yarn would be a too tricky for a beginner! Very grateful for this video.

[@LlamaThatLoves]

@@kestrelguyon1626 omgosh yes I just talked about getting a bigger yarn to learn to chrochet with!

[@samantha5367]

OMG... THAT'S GENIUS!

[@DavidDajalos]

hi grandma

[@valoriec]

I've crocheted all my life and I've never even thought of this. Amazing! Thank you for the excellent video!

[@RUSak87]

im sold on this video alone. very clear and exactly what I was looking for!

[@lovelynage]

Anton Karpov me too! Straight to the point and simple. Gotta love it!

[@Pur9leRain]

I come back to this video so many times! Thank you for making this. Never take it off KZbin please.

[@Registered_Necromancer]

Thank you so much for this! I'm working on quick gifts for Christmas and didnt want to go buy chunky yarn when I have a ton of regular yarn laying around.

[@vineetkaur8774]

WHY DIDN'T I FOUND THIS VIDEO ANY SOONER!!!!?? MY GOD THIS IS AMAZING!!!

[@khantthu8399]

That is SO HELPFULLL!!! I bought some yarns in perfect color to give a gift for my brother from online. But unexpectedly the yarn was smaller than I thought. I was struggling with how to make chunky them. This is very helpful.

[@dawns1017]

I’m making scarves for the homeless, and with all the yarn I have, I do not want to buy more. This is going to help me use what I have. Love it!!! TFS

[@afreenshaikh881]

Wow that's such an amazing thing that u are doing may god always bless u ❤️

[@DeathSlayerKid]

I have so much DK that I never thought I'd use... now I can use any yarn! Thank you for this video

[@aafiyabinthahmad9022]

This is the easiest and most beginner friendly method I saw. Tried it out and did it the first time round. Thank you so much. This thin yarn has been sitting around in my cupboard for nearly two years and finally has a use.

[@carolanne8605]

oh my goodness! that is so smart! as a spinner I sometimes use the same technique to turn a single ply of yarn into a 3ply. It is called a Navajo ply or chain ply

[@RachelETyler]

I saw something about this earlier, and came to this video to understand… I’ve been crocheting for over 15 years and never once did that come up!!! Incredible. I’m so grateful for the Internet, and its ability to help us teach our community and learn together!!!

[@Msnugasabug05]

You are one of the only tutorials that popped up at the suggested that actually showed how to work with it after creating the loop. THANK YOU 🖤 I saw this technique a long time ago, but I had forgotten how to do it, so I appreciate that you created this tutorial that is very easy to follow.

[@linwei-lee110]

Thank you so much.i was just staring at some skinny yarn wrapped around a cardboard core and thinking how the heck am I ever going to find the other end to double crochet. Ta-da! Surpasses my wildest dreams

[@tiavereen1420]

🤯 A M A Z I N G , I made an amazing it’s called lipstick speckle, but my friend, likes call it peppermint and I had three small schemes of this beautiful yarn and I wish I known this method so that way I wouldn’t jacked up the yarn as I kept going or keep cutting and on another scheme of yarn. This is brilliant I mean wow thank you so much for this.

[@donnaroseoliva448]

This really saves me from overthinking on how can i use fine cotton with flower crochets 😆 thank youuuuuuu!!!!

[@joellebaker9585]

I loved this so much that I actually tried it and was so excited about it that I have turned it into a blanket but I am stuck on the corners trying to keep it even looking for a little advice on what to try for the corners

[@crochetgottaloveit]

What a terrific idea! Sure is a lot easier than working from 3 skeins of yarn at the same time. Thank you! :)

[@ND-nx1nt]

This is one of the most easiest explanations I have seen on how to do this.

[@stitchy_linn]

Wow mind blown and much gratitude! I’m doing a test crochet and don’t have the yarn colorway I want for this in bulky weight yarn. I do in worsted so aha gonna give this a go!

[@christineb1431]

I know you posted this video like 7 years ago but I'm using this technique right now on a project! Thank you for your video!

[@optimusa03gumiho38]

YES! I have some super fine yarn that i love the texture of but crocheting with it is super difficult! This is great!!

[@sophievanderbilt1325]

Omg. I saw this on Pinterest and I had to come over to KZbin just to tell you THANK YOU FOR THIS GENIUS TUTORIAL. Seriously. This is awesome.

[@GoodFoodShared]

This is a totally underrated hack, so unbelievably easy and and brilliant way to utilise thin yarn for a chunky knit look. Thank you so much!

[@terriewigfall5793]

And just like that, 5 yrs later I google and find this genius yarn hack! Perfectly timed before I grabbed 3 skeins to do the same that 1 can achieve. I from the future thank you!😁

THIS IS NOTHING SHORT OF SHEER BRILLIANCE!

[@lizzuuu3831]

LIFE SAVER! This will make it so much easier to go through my stash. XD Thank you for this~

[@nyran_the_kitten1758]

This is exactly what I needed! I’m trying to work on a project for my mom’s birthday but I only have medium sized yarns and the craft store I usually go to is almost 45 minutes away. Thank you!!

[@maleahrae]

I spent so much on yarn for one project just for it to be the wrong size...you're saving my life!

[@lagunagirl1347]

Simply brilliant. Thank you so much. I’m making some fall crochet pumpkins and had some color perfect but too lightweight yarn and this makes it all work wonderfully.

[@Knittyneeds]

You are truly gifted and talented. I was wondering how to double my yarn and got bored with NO SOLUTION until I was guided HERE. The more I watch your video tutes the more you encourage me to KEEP ON KEEPING ON. I tried to crochet by joining 2 balls of yarn and gave up. You are AMAZING. GREAT TIP. Thanks for sharing and caring. 😀😀👍👍👍💕

[@brendawaters234]

Wow...Briana, I have been crocheting for at least 40 years and I love to learn something new! I tried it and then did it with 2 strands of yarn and it was great ! Can't wait to start a project. Thank you ❤

[@lovisagill5004]

Hello :) How did you do it with 2 strands? I didn't manage to figure out how and I wanted to try that 🫶🏻

[@sheideveld725]

Thank you! This saved a project of mine, where the yarn was way to thin. I am happy to know this easy trick now❤️

[@bonniekonjevich7574]

This is absolutely genius. I am crocheting a thicker edge on a purchased, buttonless long cardigan and this demonstration showing how to be make fat edging, without wasting yarn lengths, joined separately and without calculating and measuring! A LARGE EYE, tapestry needle with a sharp pointed end, will more easily pierce the band for the first row of even blanket sts.

[@Jylada]

This is something My Eyes have NEVER SEEN 🤯 !!!!!!

[@Audiii027]

You are a lifesaver!! I couldn't find any video tutorials on this and I just purchased my first pattern.

[@JudicialMermaid]

OMG! You are a genius and a time saver! Holy moly! Thank you so much for sharing this great tip! 😂❤

[@shonawarwick3259]

OMG! I ❤. I've got a huge cone of a lace weight yarn that I've failed to use. I've been putting off making balls. This is a GAME CHANGER!!

[@Tt_88231]

This method is a life saver 😭😭🙏

[@dellarosa24601]

You are a lifesaver. This is genius!

[@akioooaida1246]

Truly, thank you, you saved me zkdkzks I was soooo frustrated but you made a good prom dress possible thank you again

[@LinYouToo]

Genius! I need to do a quick throw with bulky yarn which I don’t have but I have plenty of Redheart supersaver. This should work out great not to mention fast.

[@FloridaGrandma]

Fecking brillo! Just found a pattern today for bulky yarn but have #3 yarn that I wanted to use instead and was dreading the 3 skein idea. Can't believe I stumbled across this video just as I was trying to plan this out.

[@uhmbecky]

Thank you so much! I'm currently in a trip and I ran out of my super bulky yarn and only had worsted weight left. This worked perfectly and it was super easy to do. Thank you for sharing.

[@starsandmoonsabove]

What a cool hack! I saw a beautiful royal blue yarn but didn't buy it bc it's too thin, now I think I can buy and use it thanks to this tip

[@jhall6031]

Want to say thanks and point out for any loom knitters this works for loom knitting as well!

[@dela2612]

You can even modify this to start with a magic ring. Amazing tip!!

[@printme2010]

Hands-down, the biggest impact in the shortest amount of time!!

[@lulub30]

omg im back here after a year of finishing this video and am still SO GRATEFUL THANK YOU ♥︎♥︎♥︎♥︎

[@AmiCestLaVie]

I tried this with a magic ring instead of a slip knot and it worked great!

[@beverlymollokwu4260]

Genius! Even left handed it works🎉

[@starsk1ttles]

DUDE TYSM i bought yarn that was to thin and i didnt want it to go to waste tysm!

[@ryannwaneri6352]

[@SmileyK_Online]

Wow, randomly stumbled apon this golden trick!!! Thanks so much for sharing this ingenuity 😊

[@AsYouWishMama]

Absolutely brilliant tip. I’ve had an attractive yarn that varies in thickness from thread to thick and I have never been able to use it… I have hope and a plan now!

[@anatomy2026]

OML! This is one of the best solutions. I bought a lightweight yarn(3) and didn’t find any uses until I came across this video. Thank you very much!

[@sumiraadhikari5704]

thank you so much!! i bought some fairly light weight yarn, overestimating myself but i was struggling with it but loved the texture and color of the yarn too much to return it. this is really helpful! thanks again!

[@avah4455]

This is a life changing moment for me

[@idareandevers4059]

THANKS I just love this ideas I have a chance to buy one skein.

[@sheriwalker3878]

This is amazing!!!! I am using right now to make a bulky yarn scarf and it works perfectly and was so easy.

[@gauriks898]

Tried it and it works so well.. thank you for this amazing idea. And the video is crisp quick and clear. Thank you 🙂

[@mightbeme7]

I was making a bee and needed to make its wings by a thinner black yarn cz i didn’t have a thick one so i used the same method but by two strands of yarn instead of 3 and OMG ILYSM THAT HELPED ALOT😭😭😭💗💗TY

[@SomiaDz]

What a great idea! Thank you for sharing.

[@JJW77]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge of creating bulky yarn...

[@susietester5812]

I've never seen or herd of any one doing this it's genius.. thanks for sharing

[@denisecurtis5508]

Thank you for your tutorial. I bought a skein of yarn size 3 that was too small for my project. Using your technique really worked! Thank you again.

[@bloomenvogel]

Omggg I bought a pretty mixed yarn but its so thin and idk what to make with it! I wanted to make a mesh top crochet and I looked up for this tutorial. Thanks for the help

[@lexiehuselton1145]

OMG....this is BRILLIANT!💕

[@HyoBerry]

WHAT IS THIS WITCHCRAFT?!?! THANK YOUUU - literal life and money saver :)

[@marianneyag4106]

Thank you so much. This is the best technique. Now I can get working on all my thin yarn and triple it. Makes crocheting so much more fun. Thank you so much ❤️❤️

[@wanshifa2961]

Best tutorial video, straight to the point. Thank you!

[@heard3879]

I really appreciate this! The one disadvantage I have found is that I am easily distracted from counting stitches when I suddenly run out of 3 strands and need to pull a loop again. So I do indeed lose count. But it is not too hard to count all my stitches again (at least, with this 3-thickness yarn, my stitches are BIG!)

[@gardengalsu]

*Thank you ~ I love this!* I only wish I learned this earlier 'cause now I have a mess to untangle! -UGH!- lol

[@FluffyPoopPrincess]

This is the coolest thing I've seen, I feel smarter just by looking at it! Have to try this, THANK YOUUU!

[@bellenesatan]

Angel of Mercy! Thank you very much. 😊

[@jakkyisme]

Your method is the easiest to follow. Thank you.

[@jonquillejaune]

Wish I’d known this hack 7 years ago. Would’ve saved me so much time combining skeins. How do you determine needle/hook size?

[@jenniedraws406]

Thank you for sharing this. I learned something new.

[@BrianaK]

Glad it was helpful!

[@nowan9121]

Ohmygawd. Thank youuu so much. Huhu thought i won't be able to do this lol. This is my 4th video to watch the trick and im getting crazy coz I wasnt able to grasph the explanation of the other instructors lol you're awesome!

[@nicolem376]

This is called a Navajo Ply.

[@KaitlynSeven]

This is so helpful omg! Now I can get away with less stitches per inch without buying new thicker yarn

[@agnesdeleon3015]

Amazing idea. This is great. But if I wanted to add another color of yarn, how would I do that?

[@aqsaahmed3227]

Incredible thank you for this tutorial!

[@nucam2]

Thanks Briana, you have the best and simplest version !!!!

[@RekhaMCA]

Amazing.. Can you please help me to make 2 strands

[@stephaniemoreno4844]

This is a great and simple trick! Thank you for sharing, can't wait to use it 🤗

[@TheDreemerr]

This will be a lifesaver, thank you!

[@phos5990]

clear, concise, great trick.... top tier video

[@SacredDirt]

omg.. 27 yrs ive been doing multiple strands. never figured this out!

[@KnotSoProGamer]

This just blew my mind

[@avocado1998]

Very cool trick! Works with 4 strands too if you use the other end of the yarn

[@didic6470]

Xplain

[@avocado1998]

Ah I think I just meant if you add in the strand coming from the middle of the ball of yarn you can crochet with 4 strands using only one ball of yarn. I'm not sure, made this comment a long time ago so can't remember haha

[@cori-sixteenchains6287]

Oh my gosh I love this and I love you for sharingggggggg. Thank you SO much!!!

[@JulietteReacts]

Worked like a treat. Thankyou for sharing.
