Crocheters Turn Your Thin Yarn Into Thick (Bulky) Yarn

[@taylormatthews7488]

I was wondering how adding more yarn was gonna happen and I’m honestly absolutely amazed. This is super smart. Thank you

[@HandMadeRukodelky]

You're so welcome Taylor - thank you too 🌹

[@pyewackit27]

Thank you for your very helpful and easy to follow video. I’ve just been give masses of single ply wool. I crochet blankets for Wildlife, BFBRs, and knew that single strand wool would be useless. Now I can use it, thank you.xx

[@HandMadeRukodelky]

Thank you, Gracie 🌹

[@psychicriver]

Thank you so much for this idea! I had some very thin yarn that I kept pushing aside because I couldn't work with it single strand. The 3 strand method creates a very nice thickness that I am now able to use.

[@HandMadeRukodelky]

thank you!!

+Bronislava Slagle (HandmadeRukodelky) I want to thank you again! I have a bunch of cones of fingering yarn and really didn't know what I was going to do with them. but this will allow me to use them more easily. I have a hard time with the thinner yarns. This is so awesome!!!

[@gayvalynnemoll6416]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I have the beautiful thin yarns (for 3.5-4 mm needles) which take so long to finish a jacket. Can I use this technique on knitting as well?

[@HandMadeRukodelky]

+Gayvalynne Moll - yes - in this video for chrocheters at 0:24 is a link for knitters - almost same but I knit a little with the yarn

[@gayvalynnemoll6416]

+Bronislava Slagle (HandmadeRukodelky) I see it now. Thank you.

[@smalmon]

Wow!!! This is amazing!! Thank you!!!

[@fairymairah]

Interesting !

[@HandMadeRukodelky]

yes Fairymairah, I use it occasionally 🌸

[@fairymairah]

@@HandMadeRukodelky even I used to do that too 😄 !

[@MemoTheLost]

I was wondering if you had advice for the opposite transformation? I have lots of thick yarn that I'd like to unwind for fingering yarn for socks. How many strands do I need?

[@HandMadeRukodelky]

The best way to do it is go to a yarn store and look at the thickness of a sock yarn. You will need at least one more pair of hands to help you with unwinding. It is a really time consuming task though. I might do a video demonstration one day.

[@MemoTheLost]

@@HandMadeRukodelky Thank you for replying! I have since gone and taken the time to unwind a ball for a pair of fingering weight gloves I wanted to make. You weren't kidding about it being time consuming. @.@ lol

[@missapippin9020]

Thank you for a very informative video :)

Patricia 🌹🌹🌹🌹

[@applepi5891]

Do you think this would work on gradient kind of yarn?

[@HandMadeRukodelky]

Great question Apple Pi, I have never done it, but why dont you try? It is easy to take it apart if it wont work.. 🍀🌹

Genius!!!

[@karlahartzell2786]

How do you add more yarn in when you run out of skinny strand yarn??

[@HandMadeRukodelky]

Tie it with a knot

[@atifashahul1929]

can we make one ball of yarn first and start crochet? can we make it into ball without getting tangle?

[@HandMadeRukodelky]

yes you can - I would first draw the yarn through the loop, smooth it, draw the yarn through another loop, smooth it, (and perhaps do it one more time making sure it will not get tangled) and then start winding it into a ball, when near the loop, put the ball down and start with loop/smooth process again... make sure you spread your "trippled" yarn rather around instead of on one pile - that way it will not get tangled - I hope you can understand what I am trying to say 🌻🌹🌷🌼

[@atifashahul1929]

+Bronislava 4 HandmadeRukodelky (HandmadeRukodelky) thanks for replying to me

[@ayshaafzal1640]

I tried making thick yarn but instead, it ended up like a big messy knot. I couldn't untangle the mess so I had to. ut the yarn and iiwated alot of wool. plz help me I don't know what I am doing wrong

[@HandMadeRukodelky]

Hi Aysha - I think you should play video several times and notice how I am folding the yarn and pulling it through, so you completely understand what I am doing (you can slow down the video in settings too to slow it down even more), then you start doing it yourself each time you fold and pull the next yarn length through the loop - do it only once - smooth it and immediately wind it into a ball so it doesnt get tangled - I am usually very careful with my yarn and do it 2-3 times before smoothing and winding it into a ball - but I would suggest you making just one fold and then wind it to a ball immediately.... good luck

[@christygabany7395]

Thank you for the video. 😊 Do you think this would work for loom knitting and Tunisia crochet?

[@HandMadeRukodelky]

+Christy Gabany - absolutely - you just treat it as 1 strand

[@emilyhaymond8610]

can u do this and arm crochet ?

[@HandMadeRukodelky]

yes you can use this technique for arm knitting - what you need to do is always grab all three strands when pulling yarn through each stitch (loop)

[@baxtar01]

I think this is the Navajo technic. I saw it on pinterest.

[@yannigirl1]

Smart! 😃👏👏

[@HandMadeRukodelky]

👍👍 thank you, I thought so too when my mom showed me :-)

[@anamacias8529]

[@joellebaker9585]

This is amazing but I never heard anything about how to do a corner

[@brendasteele1060]

ty

[@HandMadeRukodelky]

you are welcome 🌻🌹🌷

[@patsycline9820]

thanks I will try that lol

[@everythingart7566]

Does it work with two strands?

[@HandMadeRukodelky]

Hi - for two strand yarn I would do this - pull the yarn from the middle (which you can locate on the inside of the ball) and combine it with other end that you will locate on the outside...

[@kraftyiam]

interesting- another first for me - thank you - fun to watch

[@vexi1231]

How about a super chunky ? I found a cute pattern but it need 1032 oh no i dont have any super bulky

[@HandMadeRukodelky]

For super chunky you might have to add an extra one or two strands of very thin yarn. You would have to see and try how many strands would make your super chunky, desired yarn strand.

[@AnnaKerbana]

omg. thank you so much!

[@HandMadeRukodelky]

you're welcome 🌹

[@patsycline9820]

will you show how to do 2strands please lol

[@HandMadeRukodelky]

+Mary Mcdonagh - unfortunately you cannot fold it so it would have 2 strands - what I would do is either take 2 balls and use each strand and start crocheting, OR use both ends from one ball = one end from inside of the ball and second end from outside of the same ball and crochet with those two strands
