Yarn - Make 3 strands from 1 ball Navajo technique (CC)

[@THESHOMROM]

Not clever.....GENIUS!!!!!!!!!! You were born to teach; creative, inovative and generous!

[@GoodKnitKisses]

Thanks! It's not my idea originally but a technique used in spinning :-) I just tried to make it more clear. Glad you liked it!

[@MikailaIsMe]

This video is so helpful for someone who’s never done this before, thank you! And thanks again for adding the tip for when you need to extend it!

[@kathrynehiersche1817]

This is genus!! I've been spinning yarn for 1 year now and it's down to lace weight! Well I've been trying to make it thicker to make a nice, warm winter hat... Thank you!!

[@Adins_Cozy_Crochet]

Im learning to crochet and this explains it way better than any book I've found so far

[@j.laniwinkler9903]

Ok, this is such a cool trick! Wish I had found this a long time ago when I was crocheting!

[@spy4u14]

Been looking for something like this that would help me use my light worsted weight yarn as a regular yarn. Thank you so much!

[@GoodKnitKisses]

You are so welcome! I was super excited to learn this technique for that very reason. Please share, I hope it helps others! :-) Thanks for watching and commenting -Kristen

[@autumnblack4584]

This is genius! I was just trying to figure out how to divide a ball into thirds and keep the variation the same.

[@GoodKnitKisses]

Thanks! It's not my idea originally but a technique used in spinning :-) I'm glad you like it!

[@GoodKnitKisses]

Robyn Drury So sorry, For some reason YT wouldn't give me a reply button so I'm trying a different way. To add color your could cut and tie a knot to add the colors OR I would separately start a new 3 n1 and cut the ends to expose the three strands. Do the same for the existing working yarn where you want the color to join. Then use the russian join technique if you are comfortable with it. it is a technique that takes some practice and the right yarn but has no knots to deal with. you can also try a slip knot with the new color and add right on to peg or needle. Then weave in long tails with a tapestry needle to secure later.

[@classycrochet12345]

This is a really neat concept!

[@ginalangridge5847]

That's such an incredibly useful technique. Thank you!

[@fjolliff6308]

Thanks for this! I get so frustrated when I only have a single ball or two balls of yarn and need a third strand! This is going to make my knitting faster and easier!

[@adonicamae]

How awesome is that?! Thanks for sharing Kristen!

[@brslaby]

This may have just saved a project I was going to give up on! Thanks for the technique!!

[@GoodKnitKisses]

+Brenna Slaby yay!! How did it go?

[@ryanslaby7269]

+GoodKnitKisses Wonderfully!! I use this all the time now! It's so much easier than trying to keep track of three separate balls of yarn. Very good trick to know!

[@brslaby]

^ my husband's account...Oh well!

[@anthonyholy2001]

Absolutely LOVE it. What a great tip/tutorial, thanks so much for sharing. : )

[@alasr1029]

Thank you so much. You are a life saver.This is the best idea ever.

[@susieannei5641]

Thank you!! I was just wracking my 3am cobwebbed brain on what those instructions were saying!!!

[@kelseyjanedesigns]

Awesome tutorial! Very helpful!

[@cre8tivequeenbee]

Thank you Kristen!!!!

[@craftymom7]

Kristen, simply Amazing!!!!! :)

[@aliviarussell5597]

I'm new and I was just wondering if the 2 out of the 3 strings were suppose to be a loop

[@hmjevon]

Awesome technique! Reading how to do it made it seem much more involved and complicated. Definitely wouldn't have tried it if I hadn't watched your video so thank you!! Can I ask what size hook you used?

[@paulasoares5362]

Love the technique...thank you

[@TJW531]

Thank you, this is a game changer!!!

[@kellymanis4390]

Thank u, your a lifesaver!😁

[@AngelaFox777]

Amazing! Thank you for sharing!

[@GoodKnitKisses]

Angela Fox You are welcome, thank YOU for watching and commenting :-) -Kristen

[@misssarahswan]

Thank you SO much! This is brilliant!!

[@doreensavoie4759]

Nice, to progress with the 3 strands you have to pull up new thread. I think that stumps some people, the progression, the continuance of this method.

[@UmmatiMuhammadin]

So cool 😎 thank you so much 🌻

[@mic9697-f8e]

Can you show how to cast off using this technique on a loom?

[@joncampos5551]

Would this work with a styler? Or would that be too awkward?

[@ArwaSh94]

This is Awesome ! Thank you very much !

[@GoodKnitKisses]

So glad to help!

[@GoodKnitKisses]

@craftymom7 thanks!! I'm hoping it helps lots if people. Will you help me spread the word?

[@annstoeckl8876]

Thanks Kristen, your videos have taught me more about Loom Knotting than anything else I tried. I am having a problem with the three strands. For some reason (it doesn't happen with other yarns), I keep e-wrapping too tightly-- so much so that I'm pulling the pegs out of my Martha Stewart Loom. Do you have any tips or tricks?

[@mary-robyndrury8942]

Love this so much ,but I'm having trouble joining new colors at end of round. Any tips?

[@irieprendygal]

Can I use this technique to knit a sweater?

[@yarm5332]

How can I unravel the tripled yarn when I want to reuse my original lightweight yarn? It keeps getting tangled up

[@MrVjay70]

love this technique! ! ! ! have you used this technique on looms? I want to use this for making slippers and fingerless gloves on my round loom

[@idkwhattomakemyusername7904]

Hi! This was super helpful but I was wondering what to do once I finish my first ball, how do I start the next ball?

[@GoodKnitKisses]

You could tie a weavers knot and trim to keep going. It will pull into your same technique as you go. Just make sure you notice when you have a few yards (or feet) left. You can also use a square knot and trim.

[@vidivir]

so helpful! thanks much!

[@GoodKnitKisses]

You're welcome!

[@islandgirl94]

How do i add on a new skien

[@lynngraham9285]

Thank you!!!

[@cathieh.7225]

Very good, but you can't do a continuous 2 strands of the ball can you?

[@GoodKnitKisses]

Cathie Huxtable you could grab one strand from each end of the ball. You’d need to have it in a bowl that allows it to roll around. A yarn bowl that has a hole in the side can have the strand from the inside of the skein pulled from it and the one from the outside can be pulled freely. As you pull the ball will roll around in the bowl.

[@moondancer445]

its a good start however could you possibly show how its being used in a project please?

[@GoodKnitKisses]

Here is a video using it in a crochet project kzbin.info/www/bejne/a522gGd6gLySg8k

[@GoldenStarXD24]

Would this carry on through out the whole ball of yarn?? Would I have to carry on pulling till I finish the rest of the yarn??

[@GoodKnitKisses]

No you just add as you go. When the loop gets small just pull through more.

[@lifeastride]

Do you know of a way to make one ball into two strands?

[@kdoby84]

Laura Dickinson maybe just work with the loop and when Ur ready pull working yarn through n let it drop?? I'm gonna test it out

[@melissahunt437]

What I would do would wind my ball of yarn into a center-pull yarn cake. Then I would use one strand from the outside and the other from the inside.

[@alasr1029]

What do we do when we come to the end of the ball of yarn?

[@bekahw8704]

I would join the new yarn to the end of your old ball & then pull new yarn through the loop.

[@MzFluffy56]

Nice
